Female journalists can apply for Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship

DEADLINE: FEBRUARY 25, 2021 — The Elizabeth Neuffer Fellowship is now open to women-identifying and non-binary journalists whose work focuses on human rights and social justice issues.

Since 2005, the IWMF has selected one Neuffer Fellow each year to complete a seven-month Fellowship focused on human rights and social justice issues.

The Fellowship is a unique, transformative learning opportunity open to women journalists from every country around the world.

All applicants must be working journalists with at least three years of full-time, professional journalism experience.

Applicants must be able to speak, read, and write English fluently.

Neuffer Fellows receive a fixed monthly stipend to cover their living costs.
