The Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute offers funding for proposals for graduate research up to $1000.
Research Project :
The research projects must be related to your degree—a thesis, a final documentary film project, or a course capstone. Priority will be given to thesis (Literary Reportage, GloJo, and News Docs) final project proposals.
Applicants will need a project title, project description (250-500 words), project background (250-500 words), and an explanation of research methods (i.e., how and when will you conduct your research?).
A budget that includes lines for your largest expenses (usually these involve travel) is also required.
All fields must be completed.
Eligibility
Master's degree candidates at NYU’s Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute, including international students. Students graduating in May of the application year are ineligible.
Travel
NYU has a list of countries that require pre-approval before any school-funded travel can take place there. For graduate thesis work, where you would be the sole traveler without formal university support, and especially to a place you are not already familiar with, you will not likely receive such approval

International Students & Grant Taxing: International students should be advised that their grants may be subject to international tax treaties that are established by their home countries. This means that taxes may be withheld from their grant amounts, resulting in a significant reduction of the grant. Students can seek the money back from their home countries’ tax returns.
