The Northwest Journalists of Color Visual Journalism Scholarship will be awarded to an aspiring photo and/or video journalist who meets the same eligibility criteria for the NJC Scholarship. One recipient will receive a used professional camera kit (average value between $2,500-$5,000), donated by The Seattle Times Photo Department, to help launch their career. Applicants are eligible if they are either: on the path to graduating from or have graduated from a Washington state high school; or attending a public or private college in Washington state. Applicants do not need to identify as a student of color to apply for this scholarship. Strong preference will be given to applicants who demonstrate an understanding of and commitment to the importance of diverse cultural backgrounds and experiences in newsrooms. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
