SAJA Student Membership



SAJA is committed to increasing the number of South Asian student journalists and increasing the number of South Asians who enter the profession.

Student members enjoy many of the benefits of full membership at a discounted rate of just $25/year. Many of our student members receive career mentorship, student scholarships and are eligible for cash prizes through the annual SAJA Journalism Awards.

Since 2010, SAJA has awarded $20,000 in student scholarships each year.

SAJA student membership is open only to those studying in the United States and Canada. Student members need to demonstrate an interest in the field, but do not have to be full-time journalists. Almost all of our student members are either enrolled in graduate, undergraduate or high school journalism programs, work for the school media or have held (or are applying for) internship positions.
