Paid international reporting fellowship with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting
The BU Center for Global Health & Development (CGHD), School of Public Health (SPH), and the College of Communication (COM) in partnership with the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting are offering a paid international reporting Fellowship to two BU students. During this summer Fellowship, two outstanding BU students will have the opportunity to work in Washington, D.C., at the Pulitzer Center headquarters and to travel internationally (likely to a developing country) on a 2-3 week reporting trip mentored by a professional journalist.
Qualifications: Applicants must have some documented experience in both public health and journalism. This experience can be demonstrated through course work and instructor recommendations.
SPH Student Eligibility: Current student enrolled in any SPH concentration, enrolled in or already completed an approved class at the College of Communication (COM). It’s not too late to register for a COM course in the 2014 spring semester! The list of pre-approved courses can be found at /sph/files/2012/03/transfer_credit_for_pre-approved_classes.pdf. The last page of the form includes the COM courses as well as other pre-approved courses students can take for SPH credit. This form along with other student forms can be found at /sph/students/resources/forms/ on the new website. If a student wants to take a different COM course they can consult with the registrar’s office.
Funding Available: Approximately $5,000 will be available per student to be used toward each Fellow’s international reporting trip to cover transportation, lodging and related hard costs, and toward living expenses in Washington, D.C.
Application Deadline: March, 2014
