The Carter Center will accept proposals for both the U.S. and international climate change fellowships through April 2, 2025. Projects can be in any format — digital, audio, video, print — and applicants are encouraged to think creatively within the topic area. Those selected will join a cohort of more than 285 fellows from the past 29 years. Qualified applicants must be journalists with at least three years of experience. The yearlong, nonresidential fellowships equip journalists with the resources necessary to produce compelling and solutions-based stories on mental health and substance use issues. Fellows develop the skills to effectively report on difficult but important topics across evolving and emerging platforms. All fellows are awarded a $10,000 stipend and receive intensive training on mental health reporting. They are assigned to a cohort and engage in networking opportunities with advisors and other fellows.
Applications are open through April 2 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
U.S. applicants qualify for the Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Journalism Fellowships. International applicants (non-U.S.) qualify for Mental Health and Climate Change Fellowships.
