The Dag Hammarskjöld Scholarship Fund for Journalists

The number of Dag Hammarskjold Journalism Fellowship applications doubled in 2009 to more than 320 journalists from Africa, Asia and South America and the Caribbean vying for only four positions. We ask applicants to be patient as the volunteer board of directors needs time to review the many excellent submissions. A decision is expected sometime in June.

"Our Work for peace must begin within the private world of each one of us. To search for meaning in a world without fear, we must be without fear. To  build aworld of justice, we must be just. And how can we fight for liberty  if we are not free in our own minds? How can we ask others to sacrifice if we are not ready to do so?" --Dag Hammarskjöld
