Winners must plan on continuing their undergraduate education in the fall semester to be eligible. This scholarship is open to minority students. Applicants must submit URL links to 3-5 work samples. A letter of recommendation from a professor, advisor, or supervisor must also be submitted. A cover letter discussing your current and past journalism experience, how you will use the funds, and your choice to pursue a career in journalism is also required.
