Canadian journalists are encouraged to apply for the 2017-2018 Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy. A collaborative project of the Atkinson Foundation, the Honderich Family and the Toronto Star, the Fellowship provides financial support for a Canadian journalist to investigate a public policy issue, with a goal toward promoting social and economic justice.
The winner will be supported for a one-year period – from September 1 to August 31 – to investigate a current policy issue and write a series of articles for publication in the Toronto Star. During this period, the Fellow works exclusively on his or her project and receives a stipend of $75,000 and up to $25,000 for research expenses.
Applications for the 2017-2018 Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy are being accepted until the entry deadline on February 6, 2017.
