Hi Alexandra,

Congrats! Yes, last year’s fellows attended for free because Poynter was able to subsidize the cost of tuition. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case because of the economic climate.

Have you asked about any scholarship money they might be able to provide?

Please feel free to email me at greglinch [at] gmail [dot] com if you’d like to chat some more.

I hope you’re able to attend — it’s an amazing experience.

Best,
Greg

Greg,
I have been chosen as a 2010 participant for the Poynter and i read that you got your tuition for free? I sent an email to them applying for financial aid but was there somthing that you did to get to go for free? I am very excited about this opportunity but,i fear that my lack of money will hold me back. Let me know

Hi Kelly,

Awesome! I’ve been looking around for other fellows and have found about 16 others so far, mostly via Twitter.

See you there!

Hi Greg,

I came across your post in a Google search; I’m going to the fellowship too! I can’t wait to get there and see what we will learn and experience. See you there!
