The Minnesota Public Radio News Fellowship is a program that will bring people to share their backgrounds and experiences together. The goal of this year's fellowship is to bring high school students or young adults to discuss and analyze the contemporary world.
Fellows will attend four weeknight discussions and two roundtable receptions. You will also be asked to draw upon your own personal experiences, views and opinions during the discussions - some of which will be edited for possible broadcast or Internet distribution.

Selected candidates must grant MPR or its related organizations permission to use their name, biography, and likeness for promotional or informational purposes on the Web site, on the air, or in print.
