Eligibility

Quill and Scroll Foundation Student Scholarships in Journalism, with an application deadline in May, offers numerous awards that vary in amount.

Description

National winners in Quill and Scroll contests, such as the Yearbook Excellence Contest or the International Writing, Photography and Multimedia Contest and the Eye on Ivy Editorial Writing Contest, are eligible as seniors to apply for Quill and Scroll scholarships: the Edward J. Nell Memorial, or the George and Ophelia Gallup awards. The Richard P. Johns award is available to all Quill and Scroll seniors, including those who did not enter contests. The scholarships are awarded for the freshman year only and can be paid in two installments. Recipients must major in journalism or a related area of communications. Applicants must submit two letters of recommendation, one from a journalism teacher or adviser, and one from a principal or counselor. They must also submit three examples of journalistic work. These should provide insight into the applicant's abilities and promise. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
