McGraw Fellowships for Business Journalism now accepting applications for fall awards

Members of the National Press Club are invited to apply for the Fall 2025 McGraw Fellowships for Business Journalism, an initiative of the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York. Applications are now being accepted and are due by Oct. 13.

The Fellowships provide experienced journalists with a grant of up to $15,000 and the editorial support needed to produce deeply reported enterprise and investigative stories with a strong economic or financial angle. Previous McGraw Fellows have explored a wide variety of issues -- and you don't need to be a business reporter to apply! Many have been generalists, or cover areas such as health care, inequality or the environment. 

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 or join a Zoom version of McGraw Fellowship Office Hours every Thursday through Oct. 9 at noon ET until 1 p.m.

There also is a fellowship awarded in the spring, so stay tuned for information about that one in the event the fall cycle doesn't fit your schedule.
