Thank you for your interest in the Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship. The application for the 2022-23 Novak Fellowship is now closed.

Robert Novak Journalism Fellowships are intended to allow journalists early in their careers to pursue major reporting and research projects they would otherwise be unable to undertake. Applicants should have less than 10 years’ experience as professional journalists and must be U.S. citizens. Projects are expected to include some reporting component and to be broadly supportive of the principles of a free society. Each fellowship provides $30,000 in grant income and $5,000 expense assistance. For more information about the Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship Program, visit www.TFAS.org/Novak.

The application form requires the following information and materials:
