The RNTC
Fellowship Fund supports 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.
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.
