The Pritzker Fellowships
The Pritzker Fellowships
The Pritzker Fellowships program is designed to fulfill our most important goal: to discover, encourage and train the best possible representatives of a diverse new generation of public-media talent.
What the Pritzker Fellowships Offer
Two Pritzker Fellowships will be awarded each year to diverse candidates who aspire to become journalists and who show promise as radio producers, journalists and story tellers.
The Pritzker Fellowships will offer high level mentorship and professional development focused on journalism. Pritzker Fellows will be given rigorous training in public radio journalism and will work alongside some of the nation’s most respected reporters, producers and editors.
Each Pritzker Fellow will receive a stipend of $20,000 and will receive the same benefits enjoyed by employees of Chicago Public Media.
We are no longer accepting applications for the 2011 Pritzker Fellowships. We will begin accepting applications for our 2012 program in March, 2012. To learn more about the program, please review the following pages:
