GLAAD Media Fellowship for LGBT Equality

Post date: 22 July 2010
The GLAAD Media Fellowship was created to develop new leadership in the movement for LGBT equality and provide a unique opportunity to build experience in media activism by working nearly full time in GLAAD offices and being supervised and mentored by GLAAD’s staff in Programs and Communication. GLAAD Media Fellows have worked in our National News Media Program, People of Color Media Program for Asian Pacific Islander Communities, and Public Relations.

2010 GLAAD Fellowships run from January 2010 through December 31, 2010. GLAAD Media Fellows are paid a monthly stipend of $1000. GLAAD Media Fellows are responsible for their own housing and living expenses and no relocation is provided.

Applicants must be enrolled in a degree program at least half-time as a graduate or undergraduate student, or have successfully completed a graduate or undergraduate degree within the 12 months preceding the application deadline.
