Reuter Fellowships open

The Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at Oxford.

Applications for the Journalist Fellowship Programme at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism are now open. The programme, based at the University of Oxford, is one of the world’s leading schemes for practising, mid-career journalists to take some time out from their day jobs to explore journalism in depth. Most of the Journalist Fellows are fully-funded and they also receive a stipend to cover living and travel costs.

Applications are open for Fellowships starting in October 2021 or January 2022. The deadline for applications is Monday February 8, 2021. The Fellowships last one, two or three terms, and are fully funded by sponsors. The Programme Director, Meera Selva, explains what’s unique about the programme in this link.

Here you can find a list of the things you’ll need to apply. They include a personal statement, two professional references, your full CV and a few samples of your work.
