The Wall Street Journal Asia Fellowship at NYU, a program funded by The Wall Street Journal, in association with New York University, for one or two promising journalists from Asia to enroll in the three-semester masters program in business and economic reporting at the NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute.

The Fellowship covers tuition expenses and fees for two of the three semesters of the program, as well as providing a stipend of US$22,000. The Fellowship also covers travel to New York as well as some incidental costs, such as textbooks.

It’s a great opportunity for journalists working in Asia to develop their business and economic reporting skills at one of the world’s best universities.
