  • Mission

    The Journalism Refugees Education Fund (JREF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting journalists and media workers who have resettled in the U.S. and Canada due to threats related to their work. As global threats to press freedom rise, more journalists are forced to flee their home countries, leaving behind their careers and communities. JREF bridges a critical gap by providing educational opportunities that empower journalism refugees and their families to rebuild their lives and careers in their new homes.

    Through scholarships and personalized support, JREF helps recipients pursue undergraduate and graduate degrees, certifications, English language programs and more. To learn more about JREF, visit our website at journalismref.org.
