Westchester Community College/ Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium Student Fellowship Application

Thank you for your interest in the Pulitzer Center Campus Consortium International Reporting Student Fellowship. The Pulitzer Center is interested in reporting projects that focus on topics and regions of global importance, with an emphasis on issues that have gone unreported or under-reported in the mainstream American media. The Pulitzer Center's definition of "crisis" is broad - it is not limited to "conflict" reporting. We see great value in covering the too often under-reported systemic level crises, from environmental issues and struggles for resources or human rights abuses, to post-conflict reconstruction, or brewing ethnic tensions. We are interested in the stories that would typically not make the headlines without our support.
