Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship

The Eugene C. Pulliam Fellowship provides mid-career journalists time away from daily responsibilities to pursue in-depth reporting projects. It supports study, research and travel related to public interest journalism and is intended to result in published work such as editorials, investigative series, books or podcasts. More than one fellow may be selected per year, with funding divided at the judges' discretion. The fellowship is administered by the Society of Professional Journalists Foundation.

Stipend up to $100,000; support for study, research and travel; intended to result in published projects (editorials, investigative series, books, podcasts).

Applicants must be employed as an opinion writer or as a reporter with a major focus on analytical or public service journalism at a U.S. news outlet; freelancers who devote a majority of their time or derive most of their income from such pursuits may also apply. Applicants must have at least three years of relevant professional experience, demonstrate outstanding writing and analytical abilities, and be able to publish work within six to 12 months of selection.

Submit a cover letter describing the project, timeline, and stipend use; an editor's endorsement; a one-page professional biography and summary of experience; and five samples of opinion or analytical writing.
