The Dag Hammarskjold Fellowships, run by the Memorial Scholarship Fund of the United Nations Correspondents Association, is offering four positions to journalists from Africa, Asia, Latin American and Eastern Europe to cover the 60th General Assembly session in New York, USA. (The General Assembly begins its 2005 session in September and runs until mid-December.) Airfaire, hotel, accommodations and per diem expenses will be provided for. The Dag Hammarskjold Fellowship Program was established in 1961 in memory of the late Secretary General who was killed in an airplane crash while on a peace mission to the Congo. Over its 44-year history, the Memorial Scholarship Fund has awarded fellowships to more than 150 journalists from 75 countries; many of them have risen to prominence in their professions. In 2004, the Fund awarded four Fellowships to journalists from Benin, Costa Rica, Peru and the Philippines.
