Each scholarship covers the cost of tuition, course materials, most group meals, lodging for three nights and airfare within the U.S. (where appropriate).
In addition, accepted journalists may request private, one-on-one meetings with faculty members of the Penn Wharton Public Policy Initiative. The scholarship does not cover any other expenses. Other restrictions may apply.
