Journalism

Journalism

The Journalism Diversity Fund (JDF) awards bursaries to students from ethnically or socially diverse backgrounds who want to go into journalism. JDF and the bursaries they provide support students with:

  • The cost of the NCTJ-accredited course

  • Exam fees paid for

  • Contributions towards living expenses

  • Support with finding work experience placements

There are lots of accredited courses across the UK, however, they do vary in what is on offer/available for each city. Students can not apply for this is they are studying an undergraduate course. So Journalism students at Essex Uni would not qualify for this support. You can check out their accredited courses here and the cities they are available.

Check out their website for more information, they have lots on there.
