Spring 2016 applications are now open for the McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism, an initiative of the CUNY Graduate School of Journalism.
The McGraw Center for Business Journalism provides accomplished journalists with the funds needed to report in-depth stories on critical issues related to U.S. business and the economy.
McGraw Fellowships are awarded twice a year, in spring and fall. The upcoming deadline to apply is May 31, 2016. You’ll find more information about the McGraw Fellowships and the online application at www.mcgrawcenter.org, but here are the highlights:
- Each Fellow receives $5,000 a month for up to three months;
- No residency is required; McGraw Fellows work from their own offices;
- Open to both freelance and staff journalists with five years experience.
Please contact the center at mcgrawcenter@journalism.cuny.edu with any questions or if you have a project you’d like to discuss.
Previous McGraw Fellows have probed topics such as the economic links between the pharmacuetical industry and rising heroin addiction, problems in the fast-growing, unregulated market for genetic diagnostic tests, online giant Amazon’s problematic European expansion, and the questions raised by the Chinese acquisition of a major U.S. food producer.
