The Marshutz Endowed Journalism fund, Wilkinson College of Humanities and Social Sciences, will award a scholarship each academic year to a matriculated student majoring in English with a journalism emphasis or a journalism minor who displays a growing talent and the potential to succeed in the course of study while also demonstrating a need for additional funds.
Amounts will vary depending on student need.
The fund was created to help talented journalism students with a demonstrated financial need to subsidize financial burdens where necessary, such as books, bills, travel and research expenses or international study. Interested students should submit an application consisting of a one-page cover letter explaining how they will use the scholarship to further their journalism studies, a resume and three to five of their best published clips to Susan Paterno, journalism program director, c/o the English department.
