McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism application deadline is April 14

National Press Club members are invited to apply for the Spring 2025 McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism at the City University of New York's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism. Applications are due April 14.

The McGraw Fellowship provides up to $15,000 and editorial support for experienced journalists to produce deeply reported investigative or enterprise stories on critical economic, financial and business topics. Previous McGraw fellows have explored a wide variety of issues -- and you don't need to be a business reporter to apply. Many fellows have been generalists, or cover areas such as health care, inequality or the environment.

Given the enormous changes in federal spending and policy priorities now taking place in Washington, D.C., the school is particularly interested during this round of applications in story proposals that examine the impact of these changes. The Fellowship is open to both freelance and staff journalists in all forms of media with at least five years’ professional experience. Journalists from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

If you’d like to learn more, go to www.mcgrawcenter.org, contact us at [email protected] or join us on Zoom for McGraw Fellowship Office Hours every Tuesday through April 8, each session running from noon until 1 p.m. ET.

Applications are solicited and accepted twice a year; Fall 2025 applications will be due Oct. 13.
