The Magnum Foundation Fellowship (NYC Work-Study Fellowship) offers a project production grant, mentorship, and arts administration experience to early-career photographers. This fellowship is designed for New York City-based photographers to work in the Magnum Foundation office while also developing their own photographic project in the city that addresses social issues and engages with New York City communities.

Fellows are typically recent graduates of photography or journalism programs but may also be self-taught photographers of any age who are ready for an opportunity to deepen, expand, and complete a project. Fellows are encouraged to build relationships with their subjects in the field, build partnerships with relevant organizations, and experiment with narrative forms and storytelling techniques.

In addition to producing a project, fellows gain paid arts administration experience by spending 16 hours a week working in the Magnum Foundation office. The fellows work on a range of projects in the New York office including research on social issues, exploration of emerging technologies and platforms, multimedia production, and event production.
