Education New Zealand Journalism Fellowship Accepting Applications

By Victoria Robertson on March 22, 2018

Are you interested in international education and global citizenship? If so, you should certainly throw your hat in the ring for a fellowship that just opened.

The Education New Zealand Journalism Fellowship is now accepting applications. This fellowship, or competitive scholarship, is for current, US students (or recent graduates) that are interested in international education and global citizenship.

According to Education New Zealand’s Director of Education for North America, Amy Rutherford, this is an amazing opportunity for new, US writers to gain international exposure.

According to Rutherford, “This is a unique opportunity for recipients to set themselves apart in an increasingly global and competitive market. We look forward to seeing the caliber of applicants and to working with recipients to tailor a program of interviews to reflect their particular research interests.”

The scholarship will be awarded to three recipients, all of whom will have the opportunity to travel to New Zealand for one week in June of 2018. In addition, Education New Zealand will be picking up the tab for airfare, accommodation and meals.

The only caveat? Recipients must write a minimum of two news stories (or one feature article) following this visit to New Zealand.

So why should you consider applying for this fellowship?

According to the Economist Intelligence Unit’s independent report, New Zealand’s education system was ranked best in the world for preparing students for the future. In addition, all eight New Zealand universities are within the top 2.5% of the world, as per QA World University Rankings 2018.

On top of this, according to a recent press release, “New Zealand has the seventh highest performing graduates in the world, ahead of graduates from many elite universities in the US, Canada and England (2016 OECD Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies).”

So your application to this fellowship would not only provide you with the exposure necessary to your journalism endeavors, but it would also assist you in preparing for the future and enjoying new experiences.

However, the deadline for applications is quickly approaching, so make sure you apply ASAP. The deadline is Saturday, April 14 at 5 p.m. EST sharp. Don’t wait until the last minute to get your application in, as you certainly won’t want to miss that deadline!
