Russell Sage Foundation fellowship for journalists

Application Deadline: May 2, 2023 (11:59 PM EST)

In recognition of journalists’ reports on issues of relevance to Russell Sage Foundation (RSF), the Foundation has established a Visiting Journalist Fellowship.

There is a long, rich history of journalists writing and reporting compellingly about topics related to the Russell Sage Foundation’s (RSF) mission to “improve the social and living conditions in the United States.”

The fellowship provides journalists with the time and resources needed to carry out an original project while also offering an opportunity to interact with resident visiting scholars who might help inform the development of these projects.

RSF will pay visiting journalists a stipend of $8,000 per month for full-time visits of up to four months (a maximum stipend of $32,000 per individual fellowship). Fellows are provided with an office at the Foundation, computers and software, and library access.

Applicants who reside outside of the greater New York City area may be provided with a partially-subsidized apartment near RSF, if available.

Applications open for AERC Masters Fellowship 2021

The residential fellowship requires significant Foundation resources and journalists are expected to fully engage in the intellectual life of RSF. For that reason, they are expected to be in their office at least 75 percent of the days that the Foundation is open.

Eligibility: Applicants should be journalists with a minimum of 5-7 years of experience who write or report on social, economic, or political conditions in the United States.

Questions regarding this fellowship should be directed to programs@rsage.org.
