ALT Need to know; open to anyone over the age of 18 looking to break into journalism. There's no upper age cut off. we do not accept applications for those currently undertaking regular paid work in journalism, but will consider applications from those looking to return to journalism after a career break. no specific qualifications are required. However, if you are still studying, you must have, at most, a year left of your studies. the scheme is virtual, however, due to the to the way the fellowship is funded, it is only available to those who are living in the UK. you must be able to undertake the whole six-month scheme

ALT our top tips; make sure the story idea is one that works for journo resources. take a look at our editorial content and what past fellows have written. we really want to hear from people from marginalised backgrounds — but please don't feel bound to writing about your identity. we want the story you idea you feel most passionate about. try to use the full space available to you in answers that have a set word count. Using most of the word count allows us to get to know you. be honest in your answers, while we do want to know what you've achieved, we also want to hear about how this experience could help you. don't panic about your written experience. A google doc of your writing is fine.
