MPA Foundation Magazine Publishing Fellowship (2007)
THE PROGRAM
Magazine Publishers of America (MPA) believes that having an ethnically diverse workforce in the U.S. publishing industry is important to the vitality of that industry. We have therefore created a fellowship program in partnership with Stanford University to encourage such diversity. For the MPA Foundation Magazine Publishing Fellowship program, we encourage applications from African Americans, Asians/Pacific Islanders, Hispanics/Latinos and Native Americans. Fellowships are for domestic employees of MPA member companies and members of the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME) only.
CRITERIA & ELIGIBILITY
The MPA Foundation offers select magazine publishing fellowships to employees of an MPA member company or individual members of the American Society of Magazine Editors (ASME), each of which provides a full financial aid package equal to the amount of tuition and lodging for each of Stanford University's three publishing programs: "Strategic Planning for Publishing Professionals," "Stanford Professional Publishing Course" and "Publishing on the Web Workshop ". Fellowships do not include travel costs.
APPLICATION PROCESS
To apply, print out and send to MPA at the address below a completed registration form, along with a personal statement that explains how your ethnically cultural background would contribute to diversity in the magazine publishing industry and how the Fellowship would further enhance those contributions. As the MPA Foundation and Stanford bases these awards on need as well as on experience and merit, they ask that you diligently seek your organization's paid sponsorship (travel) before you apply for this fellowship. If such paid sponsorship is denied, they ask for a brief memo from a representative in your organization stating that outside tuition assistance is the only means of getting you to the program.
