HSJI strives to support you as you explore your media interests. We offer two types of funding for students: grants to attend HSJI workshops and college scholarships recognizing students who do outstanding work during their workshops.
There are two grants available to students seeking assistance in coming to HSJI. These grants will cover students’ full registration fees, lodging, and most meals.
HSJI offers Multicultural Scholarships for students coming from underrepresented, diverse, or minority backgrounds who need support to attend workshops. Those who will be the first generation in their family to attend college are also welcome to apply.
Deadline: May 15

Scholarships are presented by The Media School and the Office of the Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education. Some are general scholarships, while others are for students intending to major in journalism after high school.
Students do not have to apply for or complete any paperwork in advance for these scholarships. The application process is conducted during the HSJI workshops. Only students who are rising seniors in high school are eligible for these scholarships.
