3-month photojournalism fellowship

The NPPA/Nikon Documentary Sabbatical Grant enables a working photojournalist to take a three month leave of absence to pursue a documentary project illuminating "The Changing Face of America." The National Press Photographers Association and Nikon Inc. award one elite photojournalist a $15,000 stipend to undertake the project unencumbered by daily assignments.

The program was suspended in 2007 due to lack of funding, but is returning this year, according to the National Press Photographers Association.
