NAJA/AAJA Pacific Islander Journalism Scholarship
The Native American Journalists Association and the Asian American Journalists Association are excited to announce a new scholarship fund to support Pacific Islander students and journalists in their careers.
The funding is intended to help Indigenous peoples of the Pacific, including Polynesians, Micronesians and Melanesians, pursue careers in journalism, especially in the U.S. and U.S.-affiliated Pacific islands.
Up to two scholarships of $4,500 each will be awarded each year. The funding can be used for a variety of needs, including but not limited to:
- Funding salary and related expenses to enable students to take summer internships at news organizations.
- Subsidizing tuition for students who are pursuing higher education and intend to pursue journalism as a career.
- Paying student loan balances for journalists who are working at news organizations.
- Funding professional development and training opportunities.
