The American Council on Germany offers two 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 or the ACG Journalism Fellowships for the Study of German Politics and Society. The two fellowship programs are similar in structure, with both covering transatlantic travel and pre-approved inter-city travel, and providing a per diem of $150 for up to 28 days. However, applicants for the McCloy Fellowships are considered once a year in conjunction with Columbia University’s School of Journalism, while applicants for the ACG Journalism Fellowships are considered on a rolling basis solely by the ACG. Most McCloy Fellows travel for the fully allotted four weeks, while ACG Journalism Fellows are required to travel for a minimum of two weeks.
