The Tony Horwitz Fellowship honors the late Tony Horwitz (1958–2019), a 1983 graduate of the Master of Science Program and winner of the 1995 Pulitzer Prize in national reporting for his work at The Wall Street Journal. Horwitz authored more than a half dozen books, including the New York Times Best Sellers "Confederates in the Attic," "Blue Latitudes," "Baghdad Without a Map" and "A Voyage Long and Strange."
The fellowship, which awards up to $6,500 to cover travel, research, and reporting, is open to Journalism School graduates from the last ten years and supports reporting projects that bridge divides and promote equality and understanding. Learn more about the Tony Horwitz Fellowship.
