Syracuse University
S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications Fellowship
Website: http://newhouse.syr.edu/prospective/grad/newhouseFellowship/
Deadline: February 1
Important
Notes:
Eligibility: Must be a U.S. citizen; member of a "historically underrepresented minority group" (i.e. African American, Asian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic or Latino, Native American); have earned an undergraduate degree in fields OTHER THAN journalism by the start of graduate work; and have earned at least a cumulative GPA of 3.0/4.0 scale
Description: The Newhouse Fellowship Program aims to attract members of the minority community with truly outstanding qualifications and the potential to make significant contributions to the field of newspaper journalism and increase the number of minority journalists in the country.
After the fellows have earned their master’s degrees, they complete one-year, paid professional apprenticeships at The Post-Standard or other Newhouse newspapers. The work sites are assigned after discussions involving the fellows, the managing editor for staff development at The Post-Standard and editors of other Newhouse newspapers. Fellows cannot choose their apprenticeship sites but their preferences are taken into consideration.
The Newhouse Fellowships end at the completion of the one-year paid apprenticeships. At that time, advisors from The Post-Standard and the Newhouse School will be available to offer fellows guidance during their searches for permanent full-time jobs.
