Description
The AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship is a 10-week summer program that places advanced science, engineering, and mathematics students in media organizations nationwide to help them communicate complex scientific issues to the public.
- Fellows work as journalists at leading media outlets, researching, writing, and reporting on current science news.
- Participants receive a $10,000 stipend plus travel expenses to and from their placement and orientation.
- The program is open to upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, postdocs, and recent graduates in STEM fields; applicants must be U.S. citizens or hold visas that allow paid summer work (AAAS cannot assist with visas).
- Fellows gain hands-on experience, professional networking, and training in science communication.
Students in non-technical communications fields may be eligible for the Diverse Voices in Science Journalism Internship.
