The American Council on Germany offers three distinct fellowships to enable journalists to explore timely topics in depth overseas while broadening their personal and professional perspectives.
Journalists who are U.S. citizens and who are based in the United States are eligible to apply for the McCloy Fellowships in Journalism. The fellowship program covers transatlantic travel and pre-approved inter-city travel, together with a per diem of $200 for 21 days. Fellows have the option to extend for up to seven additional days if a compelling need is demonstrated. Applicants for the McCloy Fellowships are considered once a year in the spring by an external jury of distinguished journalists. From 2001 to 2007, the Council also offered American journalists the opportunity to travel under the auspices of the ACG Journalism Fellowships.
Journalists who are German citizens and who are based in Germany are also eligible to apply for the McCloy Fellowships in Journalism, and Berlin-based journalists are eligible to apply for the Anna-Maria and Stephen M. Kellen Fellowships. The McCloy Fellowships cover transatlantic travel and pre-approved inter-city travel, and provide a per diem of $200 for up to 21 days, with an option to extend the fellowship for an additional week. Applicants for the McCloy Fellowships are considered by the ACG once a year in the spring. The Kellen Fellowships cover transatlantic travel and pre-approved inter-city travel, and provide a per diem of $200 for up to 28 days. Kellen Fellowships may also include an orientation session in New York City if the timing of the fellowship coincides with a New York-based event which is of interest to all fellows, followed by individual research and reporting, either in New York or in other areas of the country. Applicants for the Kellen Fellowships are considered once a year by the ACG in the spring.
