About the Fellowships
Founded in 1996, the highly-competitive Rosalynn Carter Fellowships for Mental Health Journalism program awards yearlong, non-residential fellowships to journalists from the United States, Latin America, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates to report on a mental health topic of their choice. Fellows receive a generous stipend, training, networking opportunities, and access to top experts and resources in mental health and journalism.
The fellowships are part of The Carter Center’s Mental Health Program, which works around the world to improve access to mental health care and reduce stigma and discrimination against people with mental illnesses.
