Early-career journalists in the United States can apply for a reporting fellowship.

The McCloy Fellowships, sponsored by the American Council on Germany, provide American print, broadcast, and new-media journalists in relatively early stages of their careers with the opportunity to travel overseas to conduct on-site research and interviews and pursue stories of their own design.

Fellows must focus their research on Germany. Limited funding for travel to other EU27 countries may be considered for fellows exploring European Union issues, provided that Germany remains the central focus of the project. Fellows may be approved to travel to other EU27 countries provided that the project bears relevance for contemporary Germany within the wider EU context.

The fellowship provides a stipend in the amount of US$200 per day for up to 21 days abroad. Transatlantic airfare and pre-approved inter-city travel are also covered.

To apply, submit: a cover letter outlining your personal and professional objectives for the fellowship; a project proposal of at least two pages detailing the background and scope of your project, the general sources and institutions with whom you would like to consult while abroad, and the relevance of the project for transatlantic relations; a current resume; and two letters of recommendation.

Applications may be sent via e-mail to rcammarotaATacgusa.org.

The deadline has been extended from April 15 to April 26.
