Announcing Fall 2011 Glimpse Correspondents Program - $600 travel stipend + one on one editorial mentoring

The Glimpse Correspondents program is an opportunity for students, volunteers, teachers, and travelers who will be abroad this year to get their stories and photography published at high-profile publications--and get paid for it.

Powered by Matador, and supported in part by the National Geographic Society, the Glimpse Correspondents Program provides selected writers and photographers with a $600 stipend and one on one editorial training and support in creating a portfolio of published work.

Anyone over 18 is eligible, and writers and photographers of all skill and experience levels are encouraged to apply. The criteria for selecting Correspondents not only include candidates' talents in writing or photography, but also their vision for engaging communities and finding unique stories while abroad, as well as their commitment to developing these stories into polished long-form narratives over the course of the program.
