In 1994, The Phillips Foundation inaugurated the Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship Program to award fellowship grants to working print and online journalists who share the Foundation's mission to advance constitutional principles, a democratic society and a vibrant free enterprise system. The fellowships are named in honor of Robert Novak, a Phillips Foundation founding trustee who provided the inspiration for this program. Applicants propose a one-year writing project on a topic of their choosing, focusing on journalism supportive of American culture and a free society. In addition, the Foundation awards separate fellowships on the environment, on free enterprise, and on law enforcement.
Print and online journalists with less than 10 years of professional experience are eligible to apply for the fellowship program. Annually, The Phillips Foundation awards full-time $50,000 gold fellowships, part-time $25,000 silver fellowships, and special Alumni Fund fellowships.
The application deadline for the 2011 Robert Novak Journalism Fellowship Program is February 22, 2011. The 2010 fellowship winners were announced this past May at the annual Phillips Foundation Awards Dinner held at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
During the course of the one-year fellowship, journalism projects are delivered in four quarterly installments with the potential to be published sequentially in a periodical or all together as a book.
