Journalism Internship Fellowship Grant Opportunities
Public Health Reporting Fellowship
The deadline for the newly launched Public Health Reporting Fellowship has been extended until Monday, Jan. 13, at 5 pm ET.
This opportunity from the Common Health Coalition and the National Press Club Journalism Institute will award up to $7,500 each to five mid-career journalists to support reporting projects focused on the intersection of public health policy and health care delivery. Applicants must propose a significant reporting project covering a critical community, regional, state, or national public health issue, to be published or distributed by July 2025.
The awards will fund the work necessary to complete each reporting project, including travel and time away from regular duties. During the six-month, fully remote program, the fellows will also receive monthly training, access to subject-matter experts, and mentorship customized to their specific project. Projects in any format will be accepted, including print, digital, audio, visual, or broadcast formats.

About the Fellowship
The Ferriss – UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellowship offers ten $10,000 reporting grants per year to journalists reporting in-depth print and audio stories on the science, policy, business and culture of this new era of psychedelics.
In addition to underwriting individual stories, the Fellowship aims to establish and nurture a new generation of journalists covering the frontlines of this rapidly changing field. We’re looking for big, underreported, narratively compelling stories placed in rich political, economic, scientific, and cultural contexts.
The fellowship is a project of the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics.

The Co-op Program, implemented in 1937, offers undergraduate students an entry-level opportunity to become familiar with the operations of a daily newspaper, whether they’re interested in the editorial or the business side of Boston Globe Media.
The Boston Globe co-op program provides students with an opportunity to attain real-life work experience related to their field of study. Our Co-ops are put into real jobs and have profound job responsibilities. It is our mission that students leave their Boston Globe co-op with applicable experience, reliable best practices, and a stronger professional network.
AAJA announces Simon and June Li Leadership Transformation Fellowship
The Asian American Journalists Association (AAJA) is pleased to announce the Simon and June Li Leadership Transformation Fellowship, a groundbreaking fellowship program that supports the best and the brightest Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) journalists to accelerate their media leadership and entrepreneurial journeys.
The Leadership Transformation Fellowship will eliminate the cost barrier to leading journalism executive and entrepreneurial programs for the most promising AAPI leaders, including graduates of AAJA’s renowned leadership development program, Executive Leadership Program (ELP).
As part of their commitment to developing AAPI newsroom leadership, Simon and June Li are also investing in ELP. Their support will allow AAJA to expand the curriculum and recruit additional executive coaches and faculty, and provide stipends to AAJA leaders who do not have access to newsroom training budgets.
Applicants to the Fellowship would apply to programs such as Columbia’s Sulzberger Executive Leadership Program, CUNY’s Executive Program in News Innovation and Leadership, and Poynter’s Media Transformation Challenge. Fellowships would be awarded contingent on acceptance to the applicant’s program.
Applications to the 2024-2025 Simon and June Li Fellowship are open and fellows will be accepted on a rolling deadline. In the inaugural year, two fellowships will be awarded. Fellows will be encouraged to give back to the AAJA family by volunteering to serve as mentors, judges, and fill other roles.
