Deadline nears to seek CUNY business reporting grant

Thursday, March 31, is the deadline to apply for the McGraw Fellowship for Business Journalism, an initiative of the City University of New York's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.

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. Journalists of color and journalists from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.

Previous McGraw fellows have explored a wide variety of topics -- 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 with at least five years’ professional experience. For further information see www.mcgrawcenter.org or email  [email protected].
