The Us@250 Fellowship supports journalists working on local longform stories that explore American culture, identity, and community connections across differences. It funds projects that foster civic engagement, narrative change, and cultural education, culminating in a publishable article. Fellows work nonresident in their communities, focusing on themes of pride, reckoning, and aspiration in areas experiencing significant change.
Open to journalists or reporters at any career stage who have published a feature or longform article. Applicants must focus on local stories about communities bridging differences and undergoing significant change. The fellowship is nonresident, allowing fellows to work in their communities.
