About This Opportunity

This 10-week summer program places science, engineering, and mathematics students at media organizations nationwide. Fellows use their academic training as they research, write, and report today's headlines, sharpening their abilities to communicate complex scientific issues to the public. The program provides hands-on experience in science journalism and communication, allowing fellows to work directly with professional media outlets. Participants receive a stipend and travel support to complete their summer placement at various media organizations across the country. The fellowship includes mandatory orientation at AAAS headquarters in early June and a wrap-up session in mid-August, with progress reports required throughout the placement period.
