Grants up to $15K for High-Impact Stories that “Follow the Money”
Applications are now open for the Spring 2024 McGraw Fellowships for Business Journalism. If you have a great idea for a high-impact story that "Follows the Money" but need funds to get it done, we’d love to hear from you.
The McGraw Fellowships, an initiative of the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY, provide experienced journalists with a grant up to $15,000 and the editorial support needed to produce deeply reported enterprise and investigative stories that delve into critical issues related to the global economy, business or finance. Both freelance and staff journalists in all forms of media with at least five years’ professional experience are eligible. Journalists from diverse backgrounds are strongly encouraged to apply.
The upcoming deadline to apply is March 31, 2024.
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 follow the environment, health care, education or other beats. Others focus on economic justice or corporate accountability. Here are some examples of their work:

• ‘They Were Traumatized’: How a Private Equity-Associated Lender Helped Precipitate a Nursing Home Implosion - Politico
• Black Farmers and Ranchers: It’s a Dying Deal - Center for Public Integrity

If you'd like to join them, you'll find more information, an FAQ, and the application at www.mcgrawcenter.org. If you have further questions, you can contact us at [email protected]. We accept applications twice a year, in spring and fall; Fall 2024 applications will be due October 6, 2024.
The McGraw Center for Business Journalism was established at the Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY in 2014 by the family of the late Harold W. McGraw, Jr., former chairman and CEO of McGraw-Hill and long-time publisher of BusinessWeek magazine. The Center is dedicated to enhancing the depth and quality of business and economic news coverage through training, student scholarships and support for veteran journalists.
The Newmark Graduate School of Journalism in midtown Manhattan is the only publicly supported graduate journalism school in the Northeast. Led by Dean Graciela Mochkofsky, the School offers 16-month Master's degree programs in Journalism and in Spanish Language Journalism.
