Our students are chosen both from nominees submitted by over 50 participating universities, and from direct applications to the Center by student journalists not affiliated with one of those colleges. Each participating school may nominate two students for consideration for each Politics & Journalism Semester class (Winter/Spring, February-to-May; and Fall, September-to-December.)

If you attend, or have attended, one of those schools, you must apply through that university and be a nominee to be considered. If you attend, or have attended, another school, either in the United States or another country, you can apply directly to the Center. (See our application page.)

If your school is interested in screening potential applicants and making nominations, please contact the Center's Executive Director, Terry Michael.
