Offered by the International Center for Journalists, the program offers young print and broadcast journalists from each country the opportunity to share professional expertise with their colleagues across the Atlantic while working as foreign correspondents for their hometown news organizations. The Fellowship lasts for 9 weeks and takes place in the months of August and September annually.
This competitive program is open to Canadian, U.S. and German journalists between the age of 21-40, who are employed by a newspaper, news magazine, broadcast station, news agency or who work freelance and/or online.
Applicants must have demonstrated journalistic talent and a strong interest in North American-European affairs. German language proficiency is not required, but it is encouraged.
Each Fellow receives a US$4,000 stipend to cover living expenses during the 9-week-long fellowship in Germany. Participants receive US$1,200 for travel expenses, and the program also pays living expenses during a one-week orientation in Washington, D.C. prior to the Fellowship.
