The scholarships consist of a stipend of up to US $ 10,000 thousand, in addition to travel expenses. Since 1954, the IAPA has awarded scholarships to more than 400 journalists in the Americas.

Gilberto Urdaneta, president of the Scholarship Commission, said that "despite the fact that the pandemic has affected the work of the press throughout the hemisphere, as well as academic work, the IAPA does not give up its efforts to encourage study and professional development ".

Urdaneta, publisher of El Regional del Zulia, Ciudad Ojeda, Venezuela, said that, among the requirements, applicants must be between 21 and 35 years old and that the universities selected to study must be located in countries of the Americas. He added that Latin American students can not only choose universities in the United States, but also those that are accredited by the Latin American Council for Accreditation of Education in Journalism (CLAEP). Students from the United States and Canada can opt for universities in Latin America.
