Ted Scripps Fellowships in Environmental Journalism

Deepen your understanding of environmental issues, hone your craft, and enjoy a break from deadlines while living at the foot of the Rocky Mountains as a Ted Scripps Fellow of Environmental Journalism.

Fellows audit three classes of their choosing per semester at the University of Colorado in Boulder and pursue an independent project of their own design. They also attend weekly seminars and participate in field trips to learn what’s new in the realm of environmental science and policy.

Fellows receive a stipend of $80,000 and will travel (expenses paid) to the Society of Environmental Journalists annual conference.

Five Ted Scripps Fellowships are awarded each year. The fellowship is open to full-time journalists working in any medium who are interested in advancing their knowledge of environmental issues. It is aimed at outstanding journalists committed to a career in professional journalism.
