The annual Investintech – CAJ Data Journalism Scholarship<\/a> contest is now open for the 2020 – 2021 academic year!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Established in 2019, our scholarship contest is aimed at Canadian students who are interested in data journalism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that technical know-how and journalism skills are sometimes not enough to make it when you need to finance, build, and develop your career and network at the same time. Well, this scholarship is meant to help you, as a future budding journalist, fill every single one of those needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

About The Investintech – CAJ Data Journalism Scholarship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Investintech will be awarding the winning recipient a one-time cash prize that will go towards your tuition. We know that it\u2019s hard to make ends meet while studying towards a degree, and so we hope to help Canadian students where we can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve partnered with the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ)<\/a>, one of the most credible and authoritative journalism organizations in Canada. They are offering the winning student a great opportunity to further develop the skills, resources, and connections you need within the Canadian Journalism industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the winning submission is picked by a Selection Jury<\/strong> made up of experienced and renowned data journalists who have extensive experiences and backgrounds, writing for authoritative media outlets, and receiving a number of awards of recognition. They\u2019ll be judging and vetting your submissions based on the same standards and quality you\u2019ll need to meet in the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking a look at last year\u2019s entries, we\u2019ve seen the talent and skills that Canadian journalism students have to offer, awarding one winner with the contest prize so far. With the call for submissions open once again, you may very well be the next winner!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s everything you need to know to apply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
