The Aspen Institute’s New Voices
Fellowship is a year-long media skills, communication and leadership
program designed for standout development professionals from the
developing world. Candidates for the Fellowship are expected to have
both a record of significant professional achievement and a desire to
share their perspectives on global development with a broader
international audience. The Fellowship is open by nomination only.
While
the fellowship is non-resident and not full-time, it does require a
significant and sustained time commitment as fellows write opinion
articles, participate in interviews with local and international media,
and speak at international conferences. All expenses related to the
fellowship are paid, including certain media-related travel costs.
Please note, this not a fellowship for journalists or others trained and working in communications.

Process
- Ask someone to nominate you. This person could be a mentor, supervisor or professor. We ask that this person know you and your work well.
- We will review your nomination. If you pass through the first round, we’ll be in touch with you directly, asking you to submit an application. This application involves two essays and a series of questions.
- Once the New Voices team has reviewed applications, we will ask a small group of finalists to participate in an interview via Skype or phone. From this group, we will choose the final class of Fellows.
