Funding

Awards may include travel expenses (including air travel economy class) and a modest living allowance. This arrangement is subject to variation.

Spouses and partners (including with dependents) are welcome but under no circumstances will the Thomson Reuters Foundation Fellowship Programme pay the travel or living costs of visiting spouses or dependents.

Fellows should note that there are three ways of funding a RISJ Journalism Fellowship:

For the Thomson Reuters Foundation, Gerda-Henkel Foundation and Mona Megalli Fellowships, applications for funding should be submitted directly to RISJ by the deadline given on this website;

For all other fellowships, please check your eligibility; applications should be submitted to the respective organisations;

Journalists may also arrange their own funding, but they should then approach the Head of Programme in the first instance before making a formal application.
