Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism Launches Spencer Education Journalism Fellowship
Columbia University’s Graduate School of Journalism and the Spencer Foundation are offering a new fellowship in education reporting, beginning in fall 2008. The fellowship seeks to elevate the level of education reporting by giving writers the time and resources to produce work of lasting value that, ultimately, will influence a national conversation about the state of education in America. The fellowship combines course work in residence at Columbia University with intense individual help with each fellow’s project on some aspect of education in the United States.
Fellows will spend an academic year in New York to study at the School of Journalism and at Columbia’s Teachers College. In addition to the coursework and independent projects, the Spencer Fellows will meet as a group periodically and participate in conversations with influential leaders in both education and journalism.
The fellowship is open to journalists, educators, and education policy researchers who are interested in creating significant works of long-form education journalism. The chief criterion for selection is the potential for research and writing excellence, and impact on the national discourse, in the field of education. An outline of a proposed project in education reporting — projects that are already underway are eligible — must accompany all applications.

The
Fulbright Program
The
Fulbright Program is the U.S. government’s flagship program
in international educational exchange. Fulbright grants
are made to U.S. citizens and nationals of other countries
for a variety of educational activities, primarily university
lecturing, advanced research, graduate study and teaching
in elementary and secondary schools. Since the program’s
inception, more than 250,000 participants – chosen for
their leadership potential – have had the opportunity to
observe each other’s political, economic and cultural institutions.
Both U.S. and Visiting Fulbright Scholars lecture or conduct
research in a wide variety of academic and professional
fields ranging from journalism and urban planning to music,
philosophy, business administration and zoology.
The Fulbright Program encompasses a variety of exchange
programs, including those for faculty and professionals:
Pre-Doctoral Fellowships are offered to U.S. and
foreign graduate students and graduating seniors. Nearly
800 Americans are studying abroad with either full or partial
support from the Fulbright Program. Similar awards are
offered each year to foreign graduate students for support
at U.S. universities.
The Fulbright Teacher Exchange Program provides
opportunities for mostly one-for-one exchanges between
U.S. and foreign elementary, secondary and post secondary
teachers.
The Hubert Humphrey Fellowship Program was established
in 1979 to bring accomplished mid-career professionals
from developing countries to the United States at a mid-point
in their careers for a year of study and related professional
experiences. Fellows are selected based on their potential
for national leadership in the fields of public administration
and public policy analysis, public health, agricultural
development and planning and resource management.
The College and University Affiliations Program seeks
to establish linkages between U.S. universities and institutions
overseas through the exchange of faculty and staff. Begun
as a pilot project in Africa in 1982, the program became
worldwide in 1983. These linkages focus on the social sciences,
humanities, business administration and the arts. Since
the program’s inception, over 350 institutional grants
have been awarded.
The U.S. Department of Education’s Office of International
Education and Graduate Programs administer a portion of
the Fulbright program, the Fulbright-Hays Foreign Area
and Language Training Programs. Funds are awarded to Americans
individually or to U.S. institutions to support research
and training efforts abroad focusing on non-western foreign
languages and world area studies.
