FELLOWSHIPS FOR WHARTON SEMINAR FOR BUSINESS JOURNALISTS
Each year, the National Press Foundation offers two most-expenses-paid fellowships to U.S. based working print and broadcast journalists for the annual "Wharton Seminar for Business Journalists," that takes place in October of each year at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, PA. The fellowships include full tuition, housing, most meals and round trip transportation. The deadline for applications is always in September.
The seminars offer participants an opportunity to expand their knowledge of business by attending courses conducted by leading Wharton faculty, hear guest lectures by business leaders, and compete in an intensive, computer-simulated strategic management exercise.

1. a letter stating why they wish to participate
2. a letter of support from a supervisor
3. work sample, a clip or a video/audio tape (copies are acceptable)
