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.
