Applicants must possess basic photography skills and demonstrate a strong interest in pursuing a career in photojournalism. They must also own a camera, have access to photo editing and management software, and submit a portfolio of sample works. In addition, each applicant must provide proof of enrollment for AY 2026-2027, and a recommendation letter from a professor, school paper adviser, or editor of the publication or news organization with which they are affiliated.
