Diversity Conference Attendance Grants

Students may also use the funds to attend NABJ, NAHJ, or AAJA conferences. The grants are designed to cover conference fees and other conference-related expenses. Funds may be used for travel. International travel is subject to NYU’s Covid-19 travel policies.
