Fellowship Application - Deadline is  May 1, 2021

The CJF fellows each may receive up to $900 to help cover the cost of tuition. If a student receives a fellowship and then does not return to the high school staff, then the money must be returned to the Broward Education Foundation. ​Applicants research and decide which program to attend. Check out this link for ideas: https://dowjonesnewsfund.org/high-school-student-program/directory-of-high-school-workshops/.

Recipients are selected through an application process including a recommendation from the journalism teacher, a list of activities/honors and samples of work. Applications are due May 1, 2022. Members of the Executive Board select the winners.
