NPC members invited to apply for McGraw Fellowships for Business Journalism

We want all National Press Club members to be aware that applications are open for the Spring 2026 McGraw Fellowships for Business Journalism, an initiative of the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York. 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 that “Follow the Money.”

The deadline to apply is April 13.

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 covered stories in areas such as healthcare, immigration or the environment that have a strong economic or financial angle. 

A 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 contact us at [email protected].
