SEJ Conference Diversity Travel Fellowships support journalists to attend SEJ's annual conference. Your donation helps cover the costs of registration, travel, lodging and other expenses of Diversity Fellowships.
We need additional support to get all of the fellows to Philly.Please consider making a donation — in any amount — directly to the fellowship fund.

Here's what past fellowship recipients had to say (see page 6):
- "I would not have been able to attend without the SEJ/Uproot diversity fellowship, and I am truly grateful for it as this is easily the best conference I've been to as a newer journalist. I am truly grateful for the program and hope it can be expanded so even more people, who otherwise would not be able to, can attend."
- "As an emerging freelance photojournalist in the midwest I have limited resources and opportunities to attend conference. This limits my ability for professional growth and networking. I would not have been able to attend the workshop without the Uproot Project Fellowship."
