As a George Viner Scholar, you will receive much more than financial assistance. You will be invited to open days, conferences and meetings relating to your chosen field of journalism and have the support of the trustees throughout your course. All scholars must be avilable for the annual presentation ceremony, held next Spring, which is attended by journalists and industry leaders.

Applications are now open for courses taking place in 2024/2025.

To apply for a bursary or if you have any queries about eligibility, please download and send the completed application form or your query to [email protected] 

This applies to courses in the 2024/2025 academic year – even if your course started in January 2024, for example.

The deadline for applications is 31 July 2024.

Shortlisting: Tuesday 6 August (You will be advised if you have been invited to interview on the eve of August 6).

Interviews: in person at NUJ, London: Thursday 8 August
