[Journalism] Scholarships

[Misty Tittle]

            The Journalism Division will open its scholarship competition in
February (date to be determined).  This is for scholarships available for
the academic year 2008-2009.  In addition to Division scholarships, The
Paris News and the Greenville Herald-Banner will award $500 scholarships for
the fall of 2008.

 

            Criteria for scholarships will be announced.  The usual practice
has been to recognize recipients at an Honors Day or at a journalism
luncheon, as we did last year.

 

            This is an advisory so you can begin to think about this
possibility for aid and also begin pulling together materials if you wish to
apply.  The amount of the scholarships and the number of scholarships within
the Division will depend upon the funds available, but last year's awards
ranged between $1,000 and $3,000.

 

            From time to time the availability of outside scholarships may
be sent to you via the listserv (for example, the Dallas Press Club).  Also,
check bulletin boards and ask faculty.  There is usually outside funding
that goes unclaimed each year.

 

            If the faculty can help, please ask.
