A-Mark Grantees

Our Grantees are state press groups, universities, and community colleges.

We provide grants to 34 state press groups to administer 42 A-Mark Prizes for Investigative Reporting as part of their journalism contests, 21 universities to administer the A-Mark Scholarships, and two community colleges to administer the A-Mark Student Journalism Awards. We will continue to add more grantees to each of these initiatives.

We have listed the grantees in three sections below, with links to maps showing where the grantees are located. Some press groups administer multiple A-Mark Prizes, so the number of Prizes is higher than the number of grantees in section I.

I. Press Groups: A-Mark Prizes for Investigative Reporting

A-Mark funds cash prizes to honor outstanding investigative reporting across the United States. A small portion of the prize also goes to the news outlet that published the reporting, helping to promote and encourage more in-depth journalism.

II. Universities: A-Mark Journalism Master’s Scholarships

A-Mark provides scholarships to students pursuing a master’s degree in journalism, working through universities that select one recipient per school each academic year. Click here to view a map showing the location of the universities.

III. Community Colleges: A-Mark Student Journalism Awards

A-Mark provides awards for student journalists who are active in their community college’s student media and who plan to pursue a career or further education in journalism. A map showing the location of the community colleges is coming soon.
