The organizers will select about 10 journalists to spend six months getting non-academic, long-term, hands-on experience at American news organizations. In addition to the newsroom experience, the program offers specialized fellowships by topic -- business, health, investigations, online, etc. -- and region.

In cooperation with the AFPF, the Daniel Pearl Foundation also offers special fellowships to honor the life and work of Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl. Candidates for the Daniel Pearl Fellowships must have experience in reporting on South Asia, the Middle East and North Africa.

AFPF applicants must be proficient in English, between the ages of 25 and 35 years old and have at least three years of print journalism experience.

The fellowships, starting next March, cover all program-related international and domestic travel expenses, health insurance, and also provide a monthly stipend.

The deadline for application submission is August 1.
