Glimpse is a new nonprofit National Geographic platform (print magazine and website) about the experiences of young Americans abroad. We provide professional editorial support to help students learn the craft of storytelling, with the larger goal of using stories to inspire others to care about the world. Glimpse has offered students a platform for their stories for the past six years. Now with National Geographic, we are hoping to take our work to the next level.

The Correspondents Program is for especially talented students specializing in writing, photography or video. We will select 10 correspondents and each will receive a $600 stipend, a professional editor, and guaranteed publication in Glimpse. The demands of the program are not extreme, but we do expect our correspondents to commit to a professional editorial process.
