Fellowship for advancing science journalism in Africa and the Middle East
"This one-semester fellowship, hosted by the Knight Science Journalism Program at MIT, was inspired by the life and career of Egyptian science journalist Mohammed Yahia. The fellowship is designed to enrich the training of a journalist from Africa or the Middle East so they can contribute to a culture of high-quality science and health journalism in those regions, as well as raising awareness of regional advances in the rest of the world."
This one-semester fellowship is open to journalists based in Africa and the Middle East with at least three years’ experience reporting on science, health or environmental issues in the region. It is held in the fall of the academic year and hosted by KSJ at MIT. It includes a $40,000 stipend, health insurance, and other benefits. Applications for 2025 will close January 15, 2025.
