Deadline: September 30, 2022.

Are you a journalist with a great idea for a high-impact story that “Follows the Money,” but few resources to get it done? The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism would like to hear from you.

The Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for Business Journalism provides experienced journalists with grants up to $15,000 and the editorial support needed to produce deeply reported enterprise and investigative stories that delve into critical economic, financial or business issues across a wide array of subjects. You don’t need to be a business reporter to apply; many of our previous Fellows have been generalists, or cover beats such as health care, education or the environment. Others have focused on issues such as economic inequality or corporate accountability.

ELIGIBILITY

• The McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism is open to anyone with at least five years professional experience in journalism.
• Freelance journalists, as well as reporters and editors currently working at a news organization or a journalism non-profit, may apply.

BENEFITS

The Fellowship provides a grant of up to $15,000 for each project. The exact amount will depend on the time it takes to complete the project and the expenses needed. Freelance journalists may use some of the funding as a stipend for living expenses during the Fellowship. 

APPLICATION

Applicants should submit a well-focused story proposal of no more than three pages through the accompanying online form.
