The Nieman Foundation awards fellowships annually to a select group of 12 U.S. and 12 international journalists for a year of study at Harvard University. Fellows audit courses of their choosing. All schools and departments of the University are open to them. They also participate in a seminar series sponsored by the Nieman Foundation.

Through funding provided by the V. Kann Rasmussen Foundation, Environmental Nieman Fellowships were awarded to 10 journalists specializing in reporting on the environment. They participated in the program between academic years 1994-95 and 1999-2000. Environmental Fellows included print and broadcast journalists from Canada, China, the Czech Republic, India, Poland, Romania and the United States. Through their Fellowships, they returned to their careers with a deeper and broader understanding of environmental issues and of the role of journalism.
