Fellows will receive mentorship, access academic resources, and work on in-depth reporting projects in business, finance, economics, or corporate governance.

Applicants must demonstrate strong journalistic ambition, a track record of reporting on business or economics, and a story proposal showing clarity, originality, and impact.

Fellows typically receive up to $15,000 in funding, access to faculty, research facilities, and networking with peers, enabling them to devote time exclusively to their project during the fellowship period.
