In light of our forthcoming centennial and the changes taking place in the
newspaper industry throughout the Commonwealth the CPU is undergoing a comprehensive review of its work and future direction. During this time all Fellowships are on hold.
A Commonwealth journalist is awarded the CPU Fellowship in order to complete a postgraduate Masters in International Journlism at the Graduate Centre for Journalism at City University, London, England. (

The grant from News International plc will fund the cost of the fees and a living allowance. The support from the Chevening Scheme will go towards the cost of the accommodation provided by the Goodenough College.
