CBC is proud to offer the CBC News Summer Scholarship in memory of Joan Donaldson and Peter Gzowski to aspiring journalists from across the country in 2025. The four-month, in-person program provides valuable hands-on experience in multiplatform news environments. The scholarship replaces and builds on the successes of two former CBC programs for emerging journalists — the Joan Donaldson Scholarship and the Peter Gzowski Internship — bringing them together in one program. 

The program is designed to give high-potential emerging journalists experience in both CBC News’ national programming units in Toronto, as well as regional newsrooms across the country, setting them up for potential employment at CBC in the long term. 

The 2025 program will run from May through August 2025. May and June will be spent in Toronto at the CBC Broadcast Centre; July and August will be spent in a CBC regional station.

CBC provides a robust training program and ongoing mentorship to ensure scholars are properly supported during the program.

How to apply

Applications will be accepted on our recruiting website from Oct. 28, 2024, through to Nov. 24, 2024. Applications received outside this time frame will not be accepted.

What’s the application process?

Step 1: Application period

Applications must be made via the job posting on our recruiting website. Hard-copy or emailed applications will not be accepted.

To be eligible to be considered, candidates must ensure they provide a single PDF that consists of the following items:

  • A one-page cover letter that explains what you will bring to the program
  • A one-page resume
  • Three examples of your journalism work: Please provide links to your work, not the actual files. If you’ve worked in more than one medium make sure your examples reflect that range (ie. text, audio, video, interactive, etc). One of them should be an example of timely and topical coverage (breaking news, same-day turnaround, etc.). For each link, please write one sentence about why you chose to submit this piece.

Candidates will also be required to answer a series of questions on the application form to verify eligibility in the program and other competencies. Please be prepared to provide the name and contact information of a person who would be able to speak to your journalism skills. 

Step 2: Recommendation

CBC will review the applications and select the top qualified candidates to move forward in the process. For those candidates, we will contact your reference and ask them to answer questions about your skills, capabilities and potential. 

Step 3: Skills test

Candidates who move forward to this step will be given a short test to assess journalistic skills and potential. Candidates will be expected to do this test individually at a time that fits your schedule, and you will complete it without the help of specialized software or other tools. All candidates will be given the same test to ensure fairness and equity. This test will be assessed anonymously — the selection panel will not know which candidate did which test — to reduce the potential for bias. 

Step 4: Interview

Candidates who move forward to this step will participate in a 45-minute virtual interview. This will be a panel interview (2-3 interviewers) and you will be asked questions so we can get to know you better. The previous steps in the process are about assessing your skills and experience; the interview is about explaining how you work, how you use critical thinking, how you tackle challenges, etc. 

Step 5: Background check

As part of its recruitment process, CBC/Radio-Canada requires that background checks are conducted for all employees. Background checks will be completed for candidates who are offered a scholarship. There is no charge to you for these background checks.

Step 6: Offer

Candidates who are selected for the scholarship will be contacted with the details. Unsuccessful candidates will be contacted and provided feedback, as well as information on other potential opportunities at CBC.
