Hearst UK has launched a talent scholarship sponsored by flatshare site SpareRoom. The initiative will offer successful applicants the chance to work within one of the Hearst UK's editorial teams for two weeks, being paid the London Living Wage, with travel expenses covered, as well as free shared accommodation in a zone 1-3 London property with the other winners. 

The Hearst Talent Scholarship is open for anyone to apply, with entrants being asked to tell a story that has never been told before in no more than 500 words. Winners will be selected by leading Hearst UK editors, who will look for originality of voice, tone and subject matter.

The scholarships are set to take place in February 2021, Covid-19 permitting.
