"The Gordon Sinclair Roving Reporter Bursary supports a research and reporting trip by an early career Canadian journalist who has recently graduated from one of Canada’s university-level journalism programs.

A key element of the bursary is journalistic mentorship for the successful candidate and some assistance with preparations for the trip. Journalists who are Canadian citizens or permanent residents and who graduated from a university-level journalism program in the past five years are eligible to apply for the Gordon Sinclair Roving Reporter Bursary. Journalism students who are in their graduating year are eligible to apply for the bursary but must demonstrate that they are eligible to graduate this June. Applicants who work full-time with a media organization must be able to take a leave of absence for a minimum of six weeks to take up the reporting trip if selected for the bursary."

Knight-Risser Prize for Western Environmental Journalism

JSK Journalism Fellowships at Stanford

And after a decade of recognizing outstanding published work, we’re doing something different: Starting in 2026, the prize will help fund the reporting before it happens. "Up to $10,000 is available to support an enterprise or investigative environmental story set in the western United States, which is defined as all states west of the Mississippi River, including Hawaii and Alaska. "The Knight-Risser prize is open to reporters, photographers, radio and audio journalists, television and video journalists, and documentary filmmakers working in the United States." Deadline: June 2, 2026.
