OpenNews Scholarship for U.S.-Based Journalists

OpenNews is part of a community of journalists creating a future where we can work in newsrooms that are anti-racist, equitable, inclusive, and collaborative. OpenNews can help you pay for events and programs that develop your work as a journalist with data and code. Attend a conference, take a class, join a training, sign up for a leadership program—you know best what you need. If cost is a hardship, we want to help.

These scholarships are for U.S.-based journalists who work in data or code. This program is one way we can help people in those roles build skills and connections to make their newsrooms more equitable and just.

This program is designed to do two things: help you expand your comfort zone and strengthen your support network of colleagues and peers.
