The EBU Special Assistance Project was established in June 2009 to reinforce support for Members of the Union encountering deep difficulties – political, financial, technical or other – at a time of rapid technological change. Within this framework, the new EBU Special Assistance Scholarship scheme will support high-potential professionals facing challenges in management, content and technology. This scheme is funded by the Network Media Programme of the Open Society Foundation, with EBU Members providing in-kind contributions.

What may I apply for? Two kinds of scholarship are available: - Track A: facilitates participation in EBU TRAINING courses
- Track B: funds individual projects for on-the-job training and mentoring, by pairing up staff from assisted Members with counterparts from assisting Members.
