Scholarship Information

OVERVIEW
Each year, deserving students interested in becoming journalists receive more than $50,000 in NABJ scholarships. Each scholarship is worth up to $5,000.

REQUIREMENTS
The requirements make up one complete packet for this program. Students who want to apply for the program must submit four complete packets to the national office. This includes students looking for a broadest internship.

Because students normally have to pay for each official transcript, NABJ will accept three unofficial, and one official instead of four official transcripts.

To ensure your application is ready to be submitted, have an instructor or counselor review your package to confirm that:

Your resume is clear and highlights each of your accomplishments
Your essay is readable and tells us why you want to be a journalists
You have explained your financial need
Your recommendations highlight your strengths
Your transcript is current and is an official copy
You have included your samples of work
- VTF only:
  - Print Twenty examples of photos, page design, typography, illustrations, informational graphics, etc., (JPG or PDF format) preferably on CD
  - Broadcast Two, 30 second to 3 minute clips (VHS format) that demonstrate your editing, photography, design, and/or graphic skills
- Other scholarships:
  - Print Six of your published works that demonstrate your reporting, editing, and/or producing skills
  - Broadcast One audio (cassette or CD) or video (VHS format) no longer than five minutes in length of your broadcast works that demonstrate your reporting, editing, and/or producing skills

Remember: Read the application instructions carefully! Only completed and timely applications will be reviewed. Judges will also consider each student's degree of financial need.

Note: All materials must be typewritten (double-spaced). All materials become property of NABJ and will not be returned. All materials must be submitted on 8.5 x 11 paper. Do not staple papers. Use binder and/or paper clips.
