The Prem Bhatia
Memorial Trust offers two scholarships every year
for Indian journalists between the age of 25 and
40 for research in media related subjects.
Each of the two scholarships
is for Rs 75,000 for one year. They are sponsored
by the Sir Dorabji Tata Trust. The scholarship
amount is paid out in four installments. The first
installment is given on selection and the remaining

work in progress has been approved by the selection
committee. In addition, at least two articles
on the research topic should be published in journals
or newspapers. These scholarships are only for
journalists working in India.
There will also be a one time
annual award of Rs 30,000 for the best young journalist
under the age of thirty years who has shown the
most promise in reporting on environmental or
social affairs.
