Fejos Fellowship in Public Media

The Fejos Fellowship in Public Media is a funded fellowship supporting the completion of film, video, audio, or other public media projects grounded in prior anthropological research. Projects may include documentaries, experimental films, audio ethnographies, podcasts, and multimedia works that demonstrate ethical engagement with communities and scholarly significance. The Foundation awards up to four Fejos fellowships annually.

A stipend of up to $80,000 for up to nine months to support completion of a public media project; up to four fellowships awarded annually.

Applicants must be no more than ten years beyond their PhD in anthropology, with allowances for periods of caregiving; qualified scholars of any nationality or institutional affiliation may apply. The fellowship favors applicants who are untenured or do not yet hold a permanent academic position; projects must be based on research already completed by the applicant and in final post-production stages.

Apply via the Foundation's application portal (portal opens two months before the May 1 deadline); submit required materials including CV and sample media as specified in the application guide.
