The Marshutz Endowed Journalism fund, Wilkinson College of Humanities and Social Sciences, awards 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.

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.
