We encourage those who are applying for the WSJ Fellowship to also apply directly for admission to NYU’s program in Business and Economic Reporting. The fellowship is very competitive, and inevitably a number of highly-qualified candidates will be disappointed. However, by applying simultaneously to NYU, those who are not offered the fellowship can compete for admission and potentially a scholarship award directly from NYU. The school’s scholarship awards are not as generous as the fellowship, but over the years they have enabled journalists from Asia and around the world to study in the BER program. Online application is here.
Deadline for fall 2009: BER provides rolling admission beginning with the first deadline of January 4. Applications filed through May 1 will be considered on a space-available basis. Please contact business.journalism@nyu.edu if you are considering filing your application after January 4.
