Bursary Details
The Canadian Journalism Foundation (CJF) launched the CJF Bursary for BIPOC Student Journalists in Fall 2021. The $5,000 annual bursary is funded by Toronto-based communications firm Media Profile, a long-time CJF supporter.

They will also be asked to share a statement of intent about their journalism goals upon graduation. A CJF selection panel will consider the applications.
