New Mexico Press Women invites university and college students to apply for a higher education scholarship offered for the 2021–2022 academic year. NMPW annually awards two Doris Gregory Memorial Journalism Scholarships. The first-place winner will receive $1,000, while the first-runner-up will receive $500. The 2021–2022 award will also honor the memory of press women friend Roslyn K. “Roz” Pulitzer, who passed away earlier this year.
Recipients must be continuing students in pursuit of a graduate or undergraduate degree or minor in print journalism, broadcast, photojournalism, public relations, communications or advertising at a New Mexico college or university the following fall 2021 semester. Applicants are evaluated based on career potential and academic progress through their submitted work samples, transcripts, a 500-word essay and two letters of recommendation. Scholarship applicants are asked to complete the application form and other items that make up the application packet. Click here to download the application.
