The scholarship jury
Scholarship applications are judged by the editors of The Supplement, a Canadian newsletter that breaks down one topic per week, whether it’s a confusing news story or an under-reported issue. It’s fully audience-driven, because you should get to shape what your coverage looks like. Meet the team:
 | Alex Nguyễn is also a staff reporter with Ricochet with interests related to climate justice, labour and equity. You can find her work also in The Globe and Mail, The Tyee and The Ubyssey. | |
 | Samantha McCabe is a freelance journalist covering equity, politics, social justice. In addition to writing for The Walrus, VICE, and others, she co-manages Pandemic University. | |
