National Endowment for Democracy journalism fellowship

The National Endowment for Democracy invites journalists worldwide to apply for its Reagan-Fascell Democracy Fellows Program. Fellows will take up full-time residence for five-to-10 months at the International Forum for Democratic Studies, the research arm of the Endowment, located in Washington, D.C.

According to its organizers, the fellowship "enables democracy activists, practitioners, scholars, and journalists from around the world to deepen their understanding of democracy and enhance their ability to promote democratic change."

Fellows receive a monthly stipend for living expenses, health insurance, travel reimbursement and a fully-equipped office and research support.

The application deadline for 2009-10 fellowships is November 10.
