Need financial assistance to attend the annual conference of the Association of Health Care Journalists?
With support from the Leona M. & Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust, this fellowship is intended for reporters and editors working in rural towns and counties or who work for outlets serving a predominately rural population. (Generally, this includes counties with populations below 100,000.)
To assist as many journalists as possible, travel assistance will vary based on location.
If selected for a fellowship, you may be asked to write an AHCJ website blog post, take pictures or shoot video of a conference session.
Fellowship includes:
- conference registration fee
- one year’s membership in AHCJ (new or extended)
- Up to four nights in conference hotel (Wed.-Sat.) outside of 50-mile radius from host hotel
- Up to $400 for travel assistance (outside of 50-mile radius from host hotel) and up to $100 (inside of 50-mile radius from host hotel).
Submit your application here.
Deadline for application is Feb. 1, 2023, at noon CT.
