International News Media Association/Google News Initiative Elevate Scholarships

Applications for the International News Media Association/Google News Initiative Elevate Scholarships 2022 are now open. The Elevate Scholarship programme is designed to strengthen the future of the news business by embracing and elevating historically under-represented and disadvantaged groups below the senior management level at news media companies.

Through Elevate Scholarships, the International News Media Association (INMA) and the Google News Initiative (GNI) want to equip new faces and voices with strong news industry fundamentals as well as networking and mentoring opportunities.
