The Library Company of Philadelphia and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania each year offer two one-month fellowships to support research in residence in their collections by foreign national scholars of early American history and culture living outside the United States. The fellowships are funded by the Barra Foundation, Inc.
Being a Knight Fellow is a life-changing experience. We are intent on helping fellows become more bold, innovative and excited about journalism — change agents who help re-imagine the future of journalism. Fellows discover new ways of thinking and working and are immersed in the amazing creativity and entrepreneurial spirit of Stanford and Silicon Valley. It is a personally and professionally rewarding year.
If you are looking for a traditional sabbatical, this is not the program for you. Knight Fellows spend a significant portion of their time pursuing their innovation proposals and they also take advantage of classes and other activities at Stanford and in Silicon Valley.
We expect fellows to produce something tangible to show for their year. But we urge them to be flexible, to experiment and to take risks. Fellows who embrace this approach often change their project substantially, or drop it altogether to pursue a new idea. We consider this a success of our focus on journalism innovation, entrepreneurship and leadership.
To learn more about our philosophy and how we define those terms, read our Mission & History.
We support our fellows’ work in numerous ways — through coaching and skills workshops, seminar discussions with thought-leaders in technology, creativity, innovation and journalism.
The most valuable asset we offer fellows is other fellows. They learn from and collaborate with each other. They get advice and find mentors among former Knight Fellows.
U.S. applicants for a Knight Fellowship ideally have at least seven years of full-time professional experience, international applicants ideally have at least five years. But we also consider less experienced applicants with outstanding achievements.
No college degree is required.
We consider applicants who fall into one or more of these categories:
Our definitions:
Once selected, fellows must agree to:
A Knight Fellowship is invigorating and productive – for fellows and for journalism. Each year, 20-plus journalists from all over the world come together for 10 months of learning, collaborating, creating and fun. They have a unique opportunity to draw on the richness of knowledge and experience at Stanford University and in Silicon Valley. Fellows, as well as their spouses or partners, have opportunities to join classes taught top Stanford professors. And we enthusiastically include families in fellowship life.
To help fellows get the most out of their year, we provide several financial benefits:
Stipend: $65,000 (paid in 10 monthly installments, September through June)
Tuition: We pay this directly to Stanford for you.
Books, research and equipment allowance: $4,000 (may be used for laptops, digital cameras, recorders, software, books, research fees or payments, web design, fees for non-Stanford courses and workshops and travel expenses related to the fellow’s innovation proposal.)
Housing supplement (total for the year):
We help fellows search for rental apartments or houses, sharing our database of properties that previous fellows have enjoyed and others that we’ve reviewed, giving advice on best areas to live. Most fellows live near campus. On-campus dorms and married student housing are not available to fellows.
Childcare supplement (total for the year):
Health insurance supplement: Ranges from approximately $3,600 for the year for single fellows to $8,190 for a couple with two or more children, which covers the cost of Stanford health insurance.
Moving supplement:

Did you study communication? The Youth Association for a Greater Europe offers you to become the manager of the international communication campaign for the project “Journey of a Book”.
The idea: a book travels accross many countries of the European Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States. It is gradually filled by hand by young or famous writers with stories depicting specific traits of their societies, their home cities and at the same time their belonging to an extended Europe.
The journey of the book will be filmed and a movie will come out of it.
Once the book’s journey is completed, it will contain “Greater Europe” in its pages, be translated and published.
Finally, a conference will bring all the young or famous writers who will get to know each other for real after writing this book together in order to support the idea of a Greater Europe in which the preservation of diversity must go hand in hand with the friendship of peoples.
The communication manager will be in contact with an international team via internet (Facebook, Skype, mail, etc.), the working language being English. His/her main tasks will be to help finding the writers, to participate in the selection of stories, to conclude partnerships with media partners in order to ensure the visibility of the project at the international level, and to contribute to the development of the film depicting the journey of the book.
