The Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award is a grant of $12,500 to support the work of a promising early-career nonfiction writer on a story that uncovers truths about the human condition.
Offered for the first time in 2015, the Award has been endowed by individuals and organizations touched by the life and work of Matthew Power, a wide-roving and award-winning journalist who sought to live and share the experience of the individuals and places on which he was reporting. Power, a longtime friend of the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, died in March 2014, while on assignment in Uganda.
The award proceeds from the recognition that many important stories need to be reported from afar, and that publications do not always have the resources to send a writer where the story is. The money need not be used exclusively for travel, but we expect that most successful applications will include such expenses.
The monetary award will be distributed in the following way:
Check : GCSP Prize for Transformative Futures in Peace and Security 2025 (Fully-funded to Geneva)
Also Check : C4IP Grants for Intellectual Property Research, Scholarship & Writings 2025 (up to $25,000)
The deadline to apply is February 19, 2025 at 11:59pm EST. Late applications will not be considered.
