Attention college journalists: The Minnesota Society of Professional Journalists (MNSPJ) is now accepting applications for its 2024 student scholarship. This year, MNSPJ will award one $2,000 scholarship to a student pursuing a career in broadcast, print, online or visual journalism. An additional scholarship of $500 may be awarded, depending upon the number and quality of applications.
These are unrestricted funds and can be used as students see fit toward academic or professional pursuits.
Last year’s first-place scholarship was awarded to Caleb Hensin, an undergraduate at the University of Minnesota, whose work for the Minnesota Daily had drawn him off-campus to pen stories surrounding the debate over rent control in Minneapolis, a proposed Africa Village development in the Cedar-Riverside neighborhood of Minneapolis, and interviews with elected officials.
To participate in the 2024 scholarship competition:
Applicants must either be enrolled in a post-secondary institution in Minnesota or have graduated from a high school in Minnesota and be enrolled in college elsewhere.
