Knight Science Journalism Fellowships are designed for
self-motivated journalists who hope to improve their coverage
of science, technology, medicine or the environment.
Each year we accept 10 to 12 journalists from the U.S. and around the world. Knight Fellows devise their own plan of study, auditing courses at MIT and Harvard, attending lectures and colloquia, and interviewing faculty members. Fellows receive a stipend of $65,000 plus tuition and benefits.
To be eligible for a Knight Fellowship, applicants must meet our qualification standards and agree to a few stipulations. >>
Though the individual activities of Fellows may vary, certain programs and benefits are shared by all Fellows. >>
Since 1983, MIT's Fellowship program has helped hundreds of journalists move to the next level in their careers. The John S. and James L. Knight Foundation is the principal sponsor. At MIT, we are part of the Program in Science, Technology, and Society, within the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. >>
