Journalists who are citizens of any Southeast Asian nation—the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, Singapore, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Brunei Darussalam, and East Timor—are encouraged to compete for the 15 fellowships available.

The programme is open for applicants who have at least five years experience as journalists in any medium (print, TV, radio or online), either as staff of media organisations or as freelancers. They should have some background or experience in writing on social, political, and/or economic issues in their countries and an interest in writing in-depth human interest stories or investigative pieces.
