Grants for Investigative Reporters 

College Scholarships » Academic Scholarships » Education Scholarships

Investigative journalists from Africa and are now welcome to apply for grants that will cover their travel and stay at the Global Investigative Journalism Conference at Geneva, Switzerland.

Specifically invited journalists are those willing to show and share their experiences and work, through presentations at the conference.

If you are able to demonstrate how you worked with your life's best investigative story, you might pick up free tickets and stay at the conference in Geneva, Switzerland.

The goal is to gather some of the world's best examples of investigative journalism in recent years.

Between 400 and 500 investigative reporters are expected to participate at the conference.

The main focus during seminars will be journalistic work methods, how journalists are using their skills, patience, eagerness to dig up dirt and neat techniques to get in touch with sources, better research material and in the end, good stories that makes a difference.

The conference is also going to cover how difficult it is to do investigative journalism in certain parts of the world.

GIJC is also going to be a unique place to do networking to get your own global contact net.

GIJC is intended to facilitate trans-national investigative journalism cooperation on the topics you cover.

Please supply the application with your CV, a short summary of your work in the field of investigative journalism and personal references.

It will also help if you can get references from organizations working with investigative journalism.

Please try as well and as actively as you can to get a sponsor in your own region.
