Accepting applications for business journalists
Deadline to apply: August 30, 2016
Seminar dates: October 8-11, 2016
Each year, the National Press Foundation offers two all-expense-paid fellowships for the annual Wharton Seminars for Business Journalists, at University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School. The fellowship includes full tuition, housing, most meals and round-trip transportation. All U.S.-based journalists whose work represents the highest standards of business journalism are eligible to apply.
The seminars offer participants an opportunity to expand their knowledge of business by attending courses conducted by leading Wharton faculty, hearing guest lectures by business leaders, and competing in an intensive, computer-simulated strategic management exercise.
