Asia-Pacific Foundation of Canada: Media Fellowships
The Media Fellowship program of the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada (APF Canada), supported in part by Cathay Pacific Airways, offers up-and-coming and established journalists the opportunity to spend time in Asia researching and preparing stories. The program aims to help Canadian journalists become better informed about this dynamic part of the world in order to write and broadcast insightfully on Asia and the Canada-Asia relationship.
The Foundation will award up to three fellowships, each valued at up to C$10,000 for in-country travel and expenses, and coverage of trans-Pacific travel with the support of Cathay Pacific Airways. The Media Fellowships are a component of the Foundation’s Research Grants Program, funded through the proceeds of an endowment established by the Government of Canada. All grants will be awarded on a competitive basis.
