Can I apply online?
No. All applications must be sent by mail.
What materials do I need to submit to apply?
All candidates must submit the following:
- A one-page resume, written in English, detailing work and educational experience.
- Three to five published articles written in English.
The judges would prefer that at least two of the articles be longer enterprise features. In general, the articles should be chosen to demonstrate your reporting, writing and analytical skills. They need not be focused on business or financial topics, although such articles would be preferable. - A 200- 300-word memo describing an article you would like to pursue on a business topic of significance to a broader international readership.
The memo should lay out the thesis of the article, offer some supporting evidence for the thesis, detail how you would pursue the story, and explain why the topic is of relevance to a global audience. - An original 1,000-word essay written in English.
The 1,000-word essay must be written entirely by you without any assistance in composition or editing. It will be judged both as a piece of writing and as evidence of your aspirations, interests, abilities, and experience. It should be specific and detailed enough to communicate a concrete sense of your character and capability. You must write out and sign the following statement: I did not receive assistance of any kind in the composition and editing of this essay.
In the essay, tell us about yourself. What were your key inspirations in your life and as a journalist? How did you come to have an interest in business journalism, and what role do you see it playing as part of the media? What are your hopes and dreams as a journalist, whether or not you win this Fellowship? How will the NYU program help you accomplish your goals if you are selected? And what will you bring to the program? Tell us also about your interests outside of journalism. What are your broader goals in life?
