EWA Announces 22nd Class of Reporting Fellows
Reporters receive financial awards for innovative education journalism.
The Education Writers Association is pleased to announce its 22nd class of EWA Reporting Fellows. These competitive fellowships are part of the organization’s drive to support enterprise journalism that informs the public about consequential issues in education.
EWA selected 11 projects for this micro-fellowship round. Each EWA Reporting Fellowship provides up to $5,000 to help cover reporting costs, plus other assistance.
The spring 2026 EWA Reporting Fellows represent a diverse mix of news organizations and projects. Most of their work will be published this year.
