Rolling Deadline

The Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting funds international travel costs associated with reporting projects on topics and regions of global importance, with an emphasis on issues that have gone unreported or under-reported in the mainstream American media. The amount of individual travel grants will depend on the specific project and detailed budget planning. Most awards fall in the range of US$3,000 to $10,000 but depending on project specifics may be as much as US$20,000.

Journalists of any nationality on staff at print or broadcast outlets as well as freelancers are eligible for support, so long as their proposed projects include a credible plan for distribution in the American mainstream media.

Applications will be considered upon receipt, with an emphasis on making Center projects as timely and newsworthy as possible. Applications should be submitted by email to info@pulitzercenter.org

Applications should include the following:

• A description of the proposed project, including distribution plan, in 250 words or less;
• A preliminary budget estimate;
• Curriculum vitae;
• Three recent samples of work (video samples should be sent by mail to below address in DVD format); and
• Three professional references
