The Science Journalists Association of Australia is thrilled to launch its 2024 grants program, to support SJAA members to realise a science reporting project in print, online, audio or visual; undertake travel for a reporting project or to encourage professional development.
This year, the SJAA grants program is offering three grants: A student and early-career journalism grant, an independent reporting grant and a grant for travel or professional development opportunities. Each grant is worth $1000 each. The SJAA may also award an additional $1000 grant for an exemplary application or use the additional funds to bolster a winning applicant’s proposal.
Applications for the 2024 grants are due 11:59pm, Friday May 17, 2023. Details are here.*
If you’re not currently an SJAA member, we encourage you to join up. Your membership fee goes to supporting the grant program and strengthening science journalism in Australia. All those details are available here.
Any questions about grants or membership can be emailed to contact@sjaa.org.au.
*Updated May 1: Deadline extended by two weeks
*Updated May 20: Grants applications are closed. We hope to be running the program again in 2025.
