The Michele Clark Fellowship is RTDNA Foundation's first fellowship and named for Michele Clark, the CBS News correspondent who was killed in a plane crash while on assignment in 1972. This fellowship is awarded to a young, promising minority professional in television, radio or digital news. In addition to the monetary award, winners of the Michele Clark Fellowships are invited to attend the RTDNA conference. Applicants must submit the URL links to 3-5 work samples.
