Global News Scholars

The Global News Scholars supports two annual in-course awards for Journalism students with a minimum GPA of 3.00 who demonstrate academic excellence and their involvement in causes within the Black community. Scholars will have opportunities to receive mentoring throughout their studies from seasoned Black journalists who work for Global News. This initiative is part of Global News’ commitment to addressing the underrepresentation of Black journalists and diversifying Canada’s newsrooms.

Candidates for this award are recommended to the Undergraduate Scholarships and Awards Committee each year by the Department of Journalism.
