Fellowships & Scholarships

The Investintech-CAJ Data Journalism Scholarship aimed to support and encourage journalism students by helping them with the costs of their education, which can often be a hinderance to their career. It was also the intention of this scholarship to serve as a way to help prepare students for a career path as a journalist by getting them to think about the industry and its ever increasing emphasis on data.

The scholarship was in place from 2019 until 2024 and went go to one Canadian student who showed an interest and understanding of data journalism tools and techniques before they even entered the newsroom professionally, to get Canadian and journalism student to really think about the data used in stories.
