The Silha Fellowships and Research Assistantships
The Silha Fellowships support outstanding graduate students in their research, as well as providing them with the opportunity to assist with a variety of Silha Center projects.
In addition to conducting scholarly research, Silha Fellows will be expected to make substantial contributions to the production of the Silha Center’s quarterly Bulletin.
Candidates for the Silha Fellowships should demonstrate a strong interest in conducting legal research; students who are pursuing, or plan to pursue, a law degree are ideal. Candidates should also have a substantial interest in journalism ethics. An interest in new media is a plus. Fellowships are awarded initially for one year.
Research assistantships are also available.
Please submit the following:
1. A copy of the SJMC scholarship application originally submitted to the graduate office.
2. A copy of academic transcripts
3. A letter explaining the area of personal interest in media law and ethics; how this interest could benefit the Silha Center; and how an association with the Silha Center would enhance professional and academic progress.
To obtain a blank scholarship application form, or to submit your application, please contact Heather Myers Larson, Graduate Student Services, at (612) 625-4054 or e-mail at sjmcgrad@umn.edu. Closing date for applications is 12:00 NOON on Monday, March 23, 2009.
