DEADLINE: Logan Nonfiction Program Fellowships

This program is on hiatus for 2023.

The Logan Nonfiction Program is a hybrid fellowship for nonfiction writers, documentary filmmakers, photojournalists, podcasters and multimedia creators currently at work on a longform project. The fellowship combines virtual and in-person programming in two classes per year of 10-12 fellows per class.

Fellowships are 10 weeks in length and occur in New York, spring and late summer. The program includes:

• Two nonconsecutive weeks in person at the Carey Institute for Global Good’s historic 100-acre campus in upstate New York. Lodging, meals, workspace, professional guidance and community are provided during these periods.
• Eight weeks of virtual residency programming to take place in the fellow’s own home.
• One-on-one formal mentoring sessions with experts in the fellow’s medium, both in person and online.
• Capacity-building panels from award-winning journalists and filmmakers.
• Film screenings.
• Peer-to-peer workshopping with other fellows.
• Access to virtual coworking spaces to encourage productivity and focus.
• Informal virtual social spaces and social hours plus sessions focused on professional and personal well-being.
• Stipends to be used for travel to and from the Carey Institute in upstate New York.
• Membership in an alumni group of more than 240 exceptional nonfiction creators.

There is no fee to apply to the Logan Nonfiction Program. Accepted fellows do not need to pay tuition or residency fees. A travel stipend to offset costs of fellow’s travel to and from upstate New York is provided.

We are particularly interested in supporting projects that examine the most pressing issues of the day, including but not limited to: conflict and security; democracy and governance; education; environment and climate change; food security; gender, race, sexual orientation, disability and intersectionality; globalization; health; inequality and exclusion; media and journalism; social justice; and sustainability and resilience.

Tentative program dates for 2022 (dates are subject to change until finalized):

• Class 1: April 2 – June 11 (tentative residential dates are April 2-9 and June 4-11)
• Class 2: July 16 – September 24 (tentative residential dates are July 16-23 and September 17-24)

The deadline for all 2022 programs is December 15, 2021. Applicants will be notified of application status by early February, 2022.

NOTE: In the event of mass travel restrictions, a government–sanctioned quarantine related to the COVID-19 pandemic and/or Institute-wide guidelines impacting the in-person residential portion of the fellowship, the Logan Nonfiction Program will put a virtual-only program into effect for accepted fellows.
