AAAS Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellows Program
The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Mass Media Science & Engineering Fellowship seeks to increase communication skills in student scientists. From grant writing to interaction with their community, today's young scientists must also be able science communicators. The Fellowship places senior undergraduate and graduate science, engineering and mathematics students at media sites nationwide to work as science reporters for 10 weeks. AAAS selects 15-20 Fellows each summer. There is a $4500 stipend plus travel expenses. The application deadline is January 15, 2010.
