Scholarships That Open Doors

Langara Journalism students don’t just learn — they get recognized. Our program offers some of the most generous journalism scholarships and entrances bursaries in Canada, helping cover tuition and living costs while students build their careers.
The prestigious Jeani Read–Michael Mercer Scholarship awards four graduating students $7,500 each to produce a major piece of progressive journalism in partnership with real media outlets — giving them professional experience and exposure before graduation.
From entrance awards to project-based scholarships and bursaries, Langara celebrates dedication, creativity, and journalistic integrity. These awards recognize exceptional storytelling and help students focus on what matters most — developing their voice, building their portfolios, and launching their careers with confidence.

What You’ll learn

What You’ll Learn: to report with confidence and clarity. Build core skills in writing, editing, research, ethics, and interviewing. Produce multimedia stories for web, audio, video, and social platforms. Practise fact-checking, deadline management, and digital publishing. Choose advanced journalism or communications to tailor your path. Finish with a supervised internship and a portfolio of publishable work—so employers can see what you can do. You’ll also learn audience engagement, analytics, headline writing, photo and audio fundamentals, and collaborative workflows that mirror real newsrooms and comms teams.

It’s where classroom learning becomes real-world
storytelling — and where many Langara journalism careers begin.
