About the Fellowship

The Ferriss – UC Berkeley Psychedelic Journalism Fellowship offers ten $10,000 reporting grants per year to journalists reporting in-depth print and audio stories on the science, policy, business and culture of this new era of psychedelics. 


In addition to underwriting individual stories, the Fellowship aims to establish and nurture a new generation of journalists covering the frontlines of this rapidly changing field.  We’re looking for big, underreported, narratively compelling stories placed in rich political, economic, scientific, and cultural contexts. 


The fellowship is a project of the UC Berkeley Center for the Science of Psychedelics.


Applications are due January 31, 2026.
