Scholarship Grant & Financial Aid

The National Press Club offers a one-year stipend of $5,000 to defray post-graduate tuition costs for graduate students in journalism.

The fellowship is named for Dennis Feldman, a club member who had a long career as a journalist and public relations adviser after putting himself through grad school at night.

How to Qualify
Applicants must:

• Have applied to or be enrolled in an accredited graduate program in journalism.

How to Apply

Forward THREE COPIES of the following:
NOTE: All information must be included in one package – newspaper articles must be reduced to 8.5 by 11 sheets.

• The NPC Scholarship/Fellowship application form.
• Three letters of recommendation (none may come from family members).
• A financial statement and/or copies of any documents you are providing to your university to qualify for financial assistance.
• A statement describing your course of study. Indicate whether you will attend full-time or part-time and when you will complete your program.
• A list of schools where you have applied, or the name of the graduate program you are attending.
• A brief biographical statement, explaining why you wish to obtain a graduate degree in journalism.
• OPTIONAL: Work samples including newspaper articles (no more than five; reduced to 8 1/2″ by 11″ size), audio or video tapes.
  The National Press Club realizes that some journalism grad school applicants are seeking to change careers and therefore may not have clips or tapes. You will not be penalized. But judges would like to see some work samples from applicants with journalism experience.

Applications must be postmarked by MAY 1.
