Apply by Sept. 15 for Education Writers Assn. fellowship of up to $5,000 to support an education-related story

If you cover education, this might be for you: The Education Writers Association is still accepting applications for reporting fellowships through Sept. 15.

The micro-fellowships pay up to $5,000 to support an education-related story, and are open to journalists from all types of media outlets (including freelancers). The money can be used for a wide array of expenses such as travel, attending workshops to build knowledge and expertise, or even contracting with a data journalist, photographer or writing coach.

There is no fee to apply, and reporters don't have to be on a full-time education beat to apply. Fellows retain full editorial control over the content of the reporting. EWA expects to award about six micro-fellowships. Click here for more information or to apply.
