The Atkinson Fellowship in Public Policy is now accepting applications for the 2016 award. First founded in 1988, the fellowship provides financial support for a Canadian journalist to investigate a current public policy with a goal toward promoting social and economic justice. The Fellow receives a stipend of $75,000 and up to $25,000 for research expenses to work exclusively on his or her project for a one-year period and write a series of articles for publication in the Toronto Star.
This annual award is a collaborative project of the Atkinson Foundation, the Honderich Family and Toronto Star.
