2025 Harold W. McGraw, Jr. Center for Business Journalism Fellowship for Business Journalists

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 with a strong economic, financial or business angle. 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.

Given the enormous changes in federal spending and policy priorities now coming out of the new administration in Washington DC, we are particularly interested during the in story proposals that examine the impact of these changes.
