Student journalism fund issues call for applications

STUDENT journalists from diverse backgrounds are being invited to consider applying for financial assistance – from a dedicated Journalism Diversity Fund – towards the payment of their course fees and living expenses.

The next deadline for applications to the Fund is the 30th of next month.

The Fund was set up three years ago to support the training of journalists from ethnically and socially diverse backgrounds.

Applicants can be sixth formers, undergraduates, mature students, or professionals looking for a career change.
