Each scholarship will be awarded in two stipends: $500 during the fall semester and $500 in the spring semester, provided the recipient has completed the first semester’s work in good standing (with a minimum GPA of 3.0).

The short application includes basic information about the student’s involvement in journalism, along with a 350-word essay describing the student’s future goals in journalism and how their high school publication has prepared them.
