We consider proposals from both freelance and staff journalists in all forms of media — text, audio, photo, and short-form video — and encourage those that combine formats to create a multimedia package. We look for projects that focus on important local or regional topics, as well as those that tackle compelling national or international stories or report on under-covered communities or issues. Journalists of color and those from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
We accept applications twice a year. The deadline to apply for Fall 2024 Fellowships is October 6, 2024. Applications for the Spring 2025 Fellowships will be due March 31, 2025. We will also consider time-sensitive projects on a case-by-case basis outside of the deadline periods. If you have a project that might qualify, please contact us at mcgrawcenter@journalism.cuny.edu.
What kind of stories do we support? Here are some examples of our previous Fellows’ work:
