Taylor/Blakeslee Graduate Fellowships

Description

The Council for the Advancement of Science Writing offers fellowships to working journalists and students of outstanding ability who have been accepted for enrollment in graduate-level programs in science writing. Science writing includes writing about science, medicine, health, technology and the environment for the general public. Journalists with at least two years of mass media experience are particularly invited to apply. This can include work on a college newspaper, or other journalistic experience involving reporting in any field. CASW welcomes anyone who can show good writing skills and interest in science journalism to seek these fellowships. Students must have an undergraduate degree and must convince the CASW selection committee of their ability and intention to pursue a career in writing about science for the general public. Applicants must be accepted by at least one institution prior to the fellowship application deadline, unless the institution of their choice has a later date for acceptances. Applicants who are already enrolled should provide evidence that they have a full year of study remaining to acquire a master's degree or graduate certificate. Members of groups traditionally underrepresented in science and media professions are encouraged to apply. Please visit the fellowship's website or contact Sylvia Kantor for more information.
