If they’re not on your calendar mark it now:

• The 2013 Google Journalism Fellowships: This 10-week, $7,500 fellowships is “aimed at undergraduate, graduate and journalism students interested in using technology to tell stories in new and dynamic ways. The Fellows will get the opportunity to spend the summer contributing to a variety of organizations — from those that are steeped in investigative journalism to those working for press freedom around the world and to those that are helping the industry figure out its future in the digital age.”Deadline: January 31.
• The AP-Google Scholarship: This $20,000 scholarship for the 2013-2014 school year “is targeted to individual students creating innovative projects that further the ideals of digital journalism.” For example, “Have you created original journalistic content with computer science elements? Are you thinking up new ways to tell a story with technology? Are you a “techie” who knows how to construct a journalistic story through multimedia? We’re looking for students pursuing studies at the crossroads of journalism, computer sciences and new media.”Deadline: February 8.

Yes, you should apply.
