OTTAWA, ON, Jan. 10, 2023 /CNW/ - Submissions for the Michener Fellowships are now open and will be accepted until Feb. 17, 2023. The Michener Awards Foundation offers two fellowships, one in support of investigative reporting and one dedicated to the enrichment of journalism education. Each fellowship is for $40,000 and up to $5,000 in expenses.
The Michener – Deacon Fellowship for Investigative Reporting encourages excellence in journalism that serves the public interest through improvements in public policy, ethical standards, corporate governance or the lives of Canadians. This Fellowship is supported through TD Bank Group, and is available to journalists with at least five years' experience to complete a reporting project with a recognized Canadian news organization.
The Michener – L. Richard O'Hagan Fellowship for Journalism Education is dedicated to the advancement and enrichment of the education of Canadian journalists and journalism students, and is supported by BMO Financial Group. This fellowship is open to teams of up to four people (or organizations including journalism schools and media organizations) including at least one journalism educator from a post-secondary institution and one experienced journalist on the team.

Fellowship winners will be announced in spring 2023, in advance of the Michener Awards ceremony, scheduled for June 14, 2023. Further details about the ceremony will be available in the coming weeks. (Due to the Governor General's many obligations, this date is subject to change.)
Submissions for the two Fellowships will close at 11:59 PM EST, on Friday, Feb. 17, 2023. Application forms are available on the Michener Awards website: www.MichenerAwards.ca.
