What are the WorldNomads.com Travel Scholarships?
WorldNomads.com has created the Travel Scholarship program to provide passionate individuals the opportunity to further their skills through professional mentorship in the fields of travel writing, travel photography, video documentary filmmaking or podcasting.
We know that there is no better way than to learn on the job and no more valuable experience when it comes to learning than having a professional in that field guide you. We're absolutely passionate about not only keeping our World Nomads travelling safely, but also about providing opportunities to get the most out of their travel experience. For some, that is a desire to combine their love of travel and a chosen career and we want the Travel Scholarships program to be a stepping stone to achieve that.
The following are the confirmed Scholarships for 2008 and we look forward to your submissions.
