A-Mark Grantees

Our Grantees are state press clubs and universities. They both give out our grants for excellence in journalism with a focus on investigative reporting.

The 34 press clubs administer 42 A-Mark Prizes for Investigative Reporting as part of their journalism contests. The 21 universities administer our grants for the recipients of the A-Mark Scholarships.

We have divided the press club A-Mark prizes and the university journalism scholarships into two sections below, each listing the press clubs and the universities, with links to maps showing where the grantees are located. Some organizations administer multiple A-Mark Prizes, so the number of Prizes is higher than the number of grantees in section I.

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

A-Mark funds cash prizes that honor outstanding journalism and investigative reporting, through press clubs 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. All the A-Mark Prizes are solely run by the press clubs or press associations. Click here for a map showing the states where the A-Mark Prizes are being awarded.

Below is a list of our press club and press association grantees that administer the A-Mark prizes.

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.
