The '''Nieman Foundation for Journalism''' is the primary journalism institution at [[Harvard University]].
'''The Nieman Foundation for Journalism at Harvard University''' is the primary journalism institution at [[Harvard]]. It was founded in February 1938 as the result of a $1.4 million bequest by Agnes Wahl Nieman, the widow of [[Lucius W. Nieman]], founder of ''[[The Milwaukee Journal]]''. Scholarships were established for journalists with at least three years' experience to go back to college to advance their work.<ref>{{Cite news |date=February 16, 1938 |title=School for Reporters |pages=6 |work=Green Bay Press-Gazette |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/legacy/187420841 |access-date=October 16, 2022}}</ref> She stated the goal was "to promote and elevate the standards of journalism in the United States and educate persons deemed specially qualified for journalism."<ref>{{Cite news |date=March 29, 1936 |title=Authority to Sell Paper's Stock Asked |pages=2A |work=St. Louis Globe-Democrat |url=https://www.newspapers.com/image/573323312 |access-date=October 16, 2022}}</ref> It is based at [[Walter Lippmann]] House in [[Cambridge, Massachusetts]].▼
