If you're a member of an underrepresented
group and have an interest in a newspaper journalism career, the generous
Newhouse Fellows Program is a spectacular way to get started.
The Newhouse Fellows Program, funded by the Newhouse Foundation,
was established to attract minority students to careers in newspaper
journalism. The program aims to provide students with a quality classroom
education and professional on-the-job training with the hope those
students will make significant contributions to the newspaper journalism
field and increase the number of minority newspaper journalists in
the United States.
The Newhouse Foundation is a private foundation established by Samuel
I. Newhouse. It provides funding for the development of academic and
public programs in journalism, education, health and the arts, among
other areas.
The Post-Standard, Syracuse's daily newspaper, has partnered with
the Newhouse School in offering the Newhouse Fellows Program. With
a daily circulation of about 125,000 and a Sunday circulation of about
177,000, The Post-Standard has provided the news and information Central
New Yorkers have depended on for generations. Syracuse.com is the
Web site affiliated with The Post-Standard.
ELIGIBILITY: Applicants must (1) be
members of historically underrepresented minority groups as defined
by New York State guidelines (African American, Asian or Pacific Islander,
Hispanic/Latino or Native American), (2) be U.S. citizens and (3)
have earned undergraduate degrees in fields other than journalism
from accredited colleges or universities by June 15 of the year that
they begin study at Syracuse University. It is expected that they
will have an undergraduate grade point average of B (3.0 on a 4.0
scale) or better. Although not eligible for Newhouse Fellows awards,
undergraduate journalism majors will be considered for other special
Syracuse University merit-based awards.
DEADLINE: February 1, 2005. Candidates
will need to take the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) no later than
January 1, 2005, in order to meet the deadline.
