About Scholarship
SAJA is committed to promoting high-quality journalism. Our scholarships help journalism students afford tuition and other costs associated with higher education. Undergraduates and graduate students continuing their studies in the Fall of 2024 at a university in the U.S. or Canada are eligible. All applicants must show proof of enrollment. Applicants must either be of South Asian descent (includes: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and people of South Asian origin from the Caribbean) or demonstrate an interest in covering South Asia and/or the diaspora. Immediate relatives of SAJA Board members and judges are ineligible to apply. A committee of judges appointed by the SAJA Board will review the student applications and evaluate them based on need, interest in journalism (i.e. related coursework, internships, extracurricular activities, part-time work), written communication skills and interest in contributing to the SAJA community. Applicants may be interviewed by phone or in-person by a member of the scholarship committee. Applicants must submit a PDF document to Mihir Zaveri, SAJA board member with "SAJA Scholarship" in the subject line and must include a resume, essay, a list of all other financial aid they have received or hope to receive, and their proof of enrollment. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
