The Center on Crime, Communities & Culture--Fellowships

The Center on Crime, Communities & Culture of the Open Society
Institute seeks to create a better understanding of and support
for effective and humane responses to crime in order to enhance
the safety of all communities. 

Crime & Communities Media Fellowships will fund journalists to 
   cover stories on crime, violence, and the search for just 
   and and practical solutions to issues of public safety. Fellows 
   will be funded at an average of $50,000 for six months to a 
   year and will be expected to deliver publishable articles or 
   broadcast-ready pieces.

Senior Soros Justice Fellowships are awarded to experienced 
   professionals in criminal justice or related fields to work
   independently on research, program design, or community
   development projects related to crime and public safety.
   Senior Fellowships are awarded for 12 months and may be
   renewed for an additional 12 months. The Center expects to 
   award up to five Senior Fellowships in 2000. Support for 
   Senior Fellows will vary according to the scope of the project, 
   with a range of $40,000-$70,000 for up to one year of work. 

Postgraduate Soros Justice Fellowships support people at the 
   outset of their career in law, medicine, or other professions, 
   to develop innovative and effective	criminal justice projects. 
   Fellows receive a stipend of $37,500 per fellowship year, $2,500 
   for an annual professional development budget, and up to $6,000 
   per year to pay down outstanding graduate school educational loan 
   debt.
