The Edward Jackson International Reporting Fund

The fund was established in 1994 by this graduate of the Class of 1945, who spent his early career as a United Press correspondent in London and Rome and further distinguished himself for 29 years with Time magazine as an international correspondent and editor.

The fund provides assistance to journalism majors for working experiences abroad. Normally, the honoree spends the summer between the junior and senior year abroad. The fellowship is appropriate for students seeking support for a newsroom internship abroad.

Applications should be addressed to the department head and comprise 1) a letter specifying the exact nature of the work and related travel to be undertaken, and the nature of the applicant's interest and background; 2) a detailed budget.

Further information is available from the head of the journalism department. The Journalism Department cannot support projects that require travel to countries on the State Department's current travel warning list. To see a list of those countries, click here.

The Department of Journalism and Mass Communications administers the income from the Jackson endowment.
