Women Journalism Scholarships
Many females are outstanding journalist today and many of these gifted jouirnalist were helped with college journalism scholarships for women to pay for all or some of their education.
The world has come a long way in terms of how women are viewed in the workforce. Women in journalism worked very hard to not only be accepted as the serious journalists that they are, but to break into various niches within the field of journalism as well. This is why the journalism scholarships that are available for women are so important today.
For example, one college journalism scholarship that is offered in a very tight journalism niche is the female scholarship offered by the Association for Women in Sports Media, at http://site.mawebcenters.com/awsm1/internscholar_about.html. This journalism scholarship has been offered since 1990, with more than 100 winners of the award since that time. The chosen recipients will show an interest in sports media careers, and the scholarship, worth $1000, also includes a paid internship. Applicants will be graduate or undergraduate students seeking a degree as a full-time student in a journalism related field of study.
Another important journalism scholarship for women is the New York Women in Communications Foundation Scholarship Program, at www.nywici.org/foundation/scholarships. This program includes multiple scholarships for women, and awards winners up to $10,000 per scholarship. The journalism scholarship program is open to high school seniors, undergraduate students, and graduate students. You must be a resident of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, or Pennsylvania, but you do not have to attend a school in these states in order to be eligible. You will, however be eligible if you are not a resident of any of these states if you are attending a school in one of the five boroughs of New York City.
Additionally, the Association for Women Journalists – DFW Chapter, has several different journalism scholarships for women available, through writing competitions, which can be found at http://www.awjdfw.org/scholarships_awards.html.
