ELIGIBILITY:

U.S. and international journalists with digital-native and legacy news organizations, independent journalists, journalism entrepreneurs and journalism innovators. 

Applicants need to have at least five years of full-time professional journalism experience. Applicants are not required to have a college degree, or experience in traditional newsrooms. (Work as a student journalist or summer intern is great experience, but is not considered part of the five-year threshold.)

The program is not open to people working in public information or public relations jobs, for trade and house newsletters or magazines, for government agencies, or in academic positions.

The fellowship does not fund or support book projects or reporting projects, and we are not a business accelerator.

JSK Fellows are provided with:

Individual coaching and tailored workshops to help develop the leadership resilience and mindsets needed to navigate and lead change.

An intentionally designed cohort experience that fosters opportunities to form meaningful and lasting personal and professional relationships.

Time and freedom to explore the intellectual resources of a world-class university

Membership in a global JSK alumni community.

A stipend of $95,000, plus a housing supplement to help with rent.

Stanford tuition for fellows and Stanford health insurance for fellows, spouses and children. We also give fellows tips and advice about finding rental housing.
