David Carr Journalism Scholarship applications open

David Carr presenting at The Power of Narrative in 2014

REGION — Through the generosity of our friends at The Sunday Long Read, The Power of Narrative is able to offer free conference attendance to 10 journalists or journalism students through the David Carr Scholarship.

The scholarship aims to provide a professional conference experience for journalists who belong to historically underrepresented groups in journalism.

The scholarship honors the late David Carr, the extraordinary New York Times journalist who taught at Boston University and dedicated himself to mentorship.

Journalists of color, LGBT journalists, and journalists with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply, as are others who bring diverse backgrounds and experiences to their work.

Please fill out this form to be considered for this scholarship. Information entered here will remain confidential.

Please note that the conference will be entirely in-person this year, so Carr Scholars should live close to Boston or be able to secure transportation and housing for the weekend.
