Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards Fellowship

Every year, the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards offer two or three student duPont Fellow positions to help with Awards’ administrative and production work during the academic year. The two students will each receive $10,000 as a tuition grant. 

As part of the fellowship, fellows assist in the administrative work of selecting duPont Award-winning reporting, help prepare for the Awards ceremony in the early part of the year, including  other work related to the winners. In addition, they assist with special events sponsored by the duPont Awards (including our On Assignment Podcast, and winner events), help organize and preserve our digital archive, and create content for the web site and social media. 

Past duPont-Columbia Awards Fellows have gone on to work at places like The New York Times’ The Daily, CBS News, PBS NewsHour, NBC News, CNN, and The Washington Post, among numerous other prestigious organizations. 

The application for the 2024-2025 academic year is currently closed.
