DEADLINE: Knight Journalism Fellowships at Stanford

Each year the JSK Fellowship at Stanford University invites up to 20 journalists of diverse backgrounds dedicated to the mission of journalism to hit pause on their professional responsibilities and experience the world-class resources Stanford University offers. Tailored mentoring, specialized programming, and group gatherings support fellows in developing the leadership resilience needed to thrive in today’s complex information landscape.

The nine-month residential program is designed for journalism professionals with at least five years experience who demonstrate an eagerness to grow as leaders and work collaboratively to address the most crucial issues facing journalism and democracy.

Applicants chosen to be fellows will be on campus from September 2025 through May 2026 and are expected to forgo their professional obligations to devote their energy to the fellowship experience. A stipend of $125,000 is provided. The fellowship also covers the cost of Stanford tuition for fellows and Stanford health insurance for fellows, spouses and children.

Deadline: Dec 4, 2024 for international applicants and Jan 15, 2025 for U.S. applicants.
