On behalf of the Tom Walker Trust, The Sunday Times is inviting proposals from journalism students suggesting a foreign news story. The closing date is July 1st, 2009.

The Tom Walker Trust was started a couple of years ago in honour of the former Times journalist. This special award offers a great opportunity to a student wishing to tackle foreign affairs and to develop his or her own idea for a report in the field. The winner will receive £1,000, four weeks experience with the foreign desk of The Sunday Times and the chance to work with a senior correspondent as well as doing his/her own assignment.

The trustees of the Tom Walker Trust will announce the shortlist of names in July and the winner will be chosen and announced shortly afterwards.
