Funding:
Thomson Reuters Foundation offers:
Full bursaries for journalists from the developing world/countries in political transition working for organisations with no resources for training. Bursaries would include travel expenses (economy class), accommodation and a modest contribution towards living allowance. This arrangement is subject to variation.
Part-funded bursaries are available for journalists from the developing world/countries in political transition who work for organisations that have limited resources for training, in this instance Thomson Reuters Foundation waives the tuition cost and you will be expected to cover travel and accommodation costs. In exceptional circumstances journalists from the developed world will be considered for part-funded bursaries.
Non-funded – Thomson Reuters Foundation also offers training for journalists from any region from an organisation that has the resources to fully cover the following costs of the programme: tuition fees: £200 per day (£1000 for a 5-day London course), travel and accommodation costs and living expenses. If necessary Thomson Reuters Foundation can provide a list of hotels for participants who require accommodation in London. If you have any questions please email: foundation(at)thomsonreuters.com
