Chevening SAJP Fellowship

The Chevening South Asia Journalism Programme (SAJP) Fellowship is a prestigious UK government initiative designed to enhance journalistic excellence across South Asia. This fully-funded fellowship provides mid-career journalists from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka with comprehensive training in media ethics, investigative reporting, and digital journalism. Participants spend approximately three months in the UK, engaging with leading media institutions, attending workshops at renowned universities, and networking with international journalists. The program aims to strengthen democratic values by promoting accurate, ethical, and impactful journalism. Eligibility typically requires at least five years of professional journalism experience, strong English proficiency, and a commitment to returning to home countries to apply newly acquired skills. Applications generally open in August with deadlines in November. Successful fellows receive full financial support including tuition, accommodation, travel expenses, and a living allowance. The Chevening SAJP Fellowship represents a transformative opportunity for journalists seeking to advance their careers while contributing to media development in South Asia.
