The Kroc Fellowship will not be taking applications and be on hold for the 2023-2024 academic year.
The NPR Kroc Fellowship is a year-long program designed to identify and develop the next generation of extraordinary public media journalists. Fellows are selected each year and receive hands-on training in audio and digital journalism, including writing, reporting, producing and editing.
The fellowship begins each year in late August/early September and lasts 12 months. Fellows receive a living stipend and benefits, including paid vacation.
