Call for Applications: Soros Justice Fellowships
The Soros Justice Fellowships fund outstanding individuals to implement innovative
projects that advance the efforts of the Open Society Foundations to
reform the U.S. criminal justice system. The foundations seek to reduce
the destructive impact of current
criminal justice policies on the lives of individuals, families, and
communities in the United States by challenging the overreliance on
incarceration and harsh punishment, and ensuring a fair and equitable system of justice.

Fellows receive funding through the following two categories:
 
Advocacy
Soros Justice Advocacy Fellowships fund outstanding individuals-including
lawyers, advocates, grassroots organizers, activist academics, and
others with important perspectives-to initiate innovative policy
advocacy projects at the local, state, and national levels.

Media

journalists, bloggers, filmmakers, and other individuals with distinct
voices proposing to complete media projects for local, regional and
national markets that engage the public and spur debate.
