$1500 Journalism Scholarship Awards

The Atlanta Press Club Scholarship Committee invites students to apply for four $1500 scholarship awards, to be presented to outstanding Georgia college or university sophomores and juniors who are pursuing careers in journalism.

The $1500 scholarships will be given four journalism students. To qualify for scholarships, students must be working toward a career in news and aiming to achieve excellence in the field of reporting. Students must be attending a Georgia college or university. One award is given to an outstanding student from the Atlanta University Center. Finalists will receive a one-year membership to the Atlanta Press Club. In addition to the $1500 award, recipients will receive a certificate documenting their achievement as well as the prestige of receiving a scholarship from one of the largest press clubs in the country. Presentation of the award will be made at an Atlanta Press Club event to be held in the spring. Prior winners of this award are not eligible.

The Atlanta Press Club scholarship committee will judge applicants on the basis of skill, achievement and commitment to journalism. Multimedia submissions are encouraged. Applications are available online at www.atlantapressclub.org and must be submitted by March 2, 2010.
