Scholarship recipients will also participate in monthly ICFJ-led virtual discussions to connect with fellow international journalists and meet with prominent speakers from the field.

Applicants must have at least five years of investigative journalism experience. Freelance journalists can also apply.

The deadline is Aug. 10.
