Scripps Fellowships
Each year, five exceptional journalists are awarded a Ted Scripps Fellowship in Environmental Journalism. Over a nine-month period, fellows attend classes at the °µÍø½ûÇø, participate in weekly seminars and field trips, and pursue their own journalistic projects on a wide range of environmental topics. Former fellows have gone on to collect Pulitzer Prizes for their work, authored best-selling books, and headed up some of the nation's most respected news organizations. Amy Martin, Fellowship Class of 2017 and recent recipient of the Peabody Award, says this about the program:
“My experience as a Scripps Fellow in Environmental Journalism was transformative for my career. While expanding my knowledge of key environmental issues through the seminars, classes and field trips, I also poured time into producing the first season of my podcast, Threshold. Crafting a narrative audio series takes an enormous amount of focused attention. The Scripps Fellowship allowed me to invest myself fully into that work and launch the show, which has since gone on to win a Peabody, a Murrow, and other major awards. The learning I did as a fellow has inspired and informed all of the reporting I've done since. If you're wondering if you should apply to this fellowship, my answer is a clear, heartfelt: yes.â€
