Award:
Most Nieman Fellows receive a
stipend of $65,000 paid over a nine-month period to cover living costs.
The Nieman Foundation also provides housing, childcare, and health
insurance allowances based on the number and ages of family members.
Nieman additionally covers the cost of attending Harvard classes for
fellows and their affiliates. Affiliates are the partners and spouses of
fellows. They enjoy many of the same privileges as fellows and may attend
classes, use Harvard libraries and other facilities, and are welcome to
participate in almost all Nieman activities.
Because funds from the original Nieman bequest are restricted to U.S. citizens,
International Nieman Fellows are encouraged to work with Nieman staff to
find financial support from sources outside the Nieman Foundation.
However, obtaining outside funding is not a condition of being selected
for a fellowship. Funds typically come from foundations and journalism
organizations in the fellows’ home countries. The Nieman Foundation works
with several international foundations that provide stipendiary support to
citizens of certain nations or regions of the world.
Recipients of short-term Knight Visiting Nieman Fellowships receive a
stipend prorated for the length of their fellowships as well as free
housing for the length of their stay at Harvard.
Through generous gifts made to the foundation, Nieman is able to support a
number of fellowships with endowed funds. Learn more about our named
