RNZ is proud to announce the launch of our Centenary Scholarships – five scholarships worth up to $8000 each to support the journalists of tomorrow as RNZ celebrates its 100th birthday.
As well as providing financial support, through funding one year of course fees, RNZ will offer scholarship recipients an internship in an RNZ newsroom, mentoring from a senior journalist and training with RNZ’s Director of Editorial Quality and Training.
Who will decide on scholarship recipients?
RNZ in consultation with the Journalism Education Association of New Zealand has identified the five main journalism courses in New Zealand. A scholarship will be allocated for each course.
The courses are:
The scholarship recipients will be determined by the individual journalism course leaders with RNZ providing criteria for selection.
I’m not studying journalism, but I am studying communications/marketing, can I still apply?
No. Students must be studying journalism or have journalism as a major to qualify for the scholarship. The preferred candidates would be in the final year of a three-year journalism major or undertaking a one-year postgraduate course. However, other candidates will be considered at the recommendation of the journalism school and at their discretion.
