CJF Bursary for BIPOC Student Journalists

The CJF Bursary for BIPOC Student Journalists is a $5,000 annual bursary funded by Toronto-based PR & creative agency Media Profile, a long-time CJF partner. The bursary is open to Black, Indigenous and Other People of Colour (BIPOC) students in their final year of a Canadian undergraduate journalism program. It is designed to support students who have demonstrated strong engagement with the BIPOC community and a commitment to high journalistic standards. Applicants will be asked to submit samples of classwork or freelance reporting in the form of written work, video, audio, video editing or other journalistic forms. They will also be asked to share a statement of intent about what they want to do in journalism upon graduation. A selection panel from The Canadian Journalism Foundation will consider applications and select one recipient annually.
