RNTC launched the RNTC Fellowship Fund to support
journalists, programme-makers, broadcast trainers and managers from
around the world who are looking to develop their media skills, but do
not have enough financial means to pay for the costs of the course of
their choice.
The fellowships are available for the following courses:
RNTC Fellowships cover the course fee (up to 50%), not the costs for
travel and accommodation. The number of fellowships that RNTC can
provide, however, is small.
