Scholarship opportunity

 

 

At the San Antonio Association of Hispanic Journalists, our mission is simple: get more Latinos in to the journalism, communications and public relations fields.   Every year our nonprofit organization awards thousands of dollars in scholarships to students to pursue their education. Last year, we gave a total of $40,000 to 11 students attending the University of Texas at Austin, Trinity University, University of the Incarnate Word, Texas A&M University-San Antonio and University of North Texas.   Applications for our 2023 scholarships are now open. Please apply or share this email!    Who can apply? Graduating seniors enrolling in college and current full-time undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in journalism, communications or public relations programs may apply.   Students must live in Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Comal, Guadalupe, Kendall, Medina or Wilson counties OR attend school in San Antonio if their permanent residence is outside the counties listed above. If they are pursuing a career in publishing, they can live anywhere in the U.S.   They must also be able to demonstrate financial need. All students are encouraged to apply regardless of immigration or citizenship status.   What does the scholarship cover? The scholarship can be used for tuition, fees, books and supplies.   What is the deadline? Friday, Feb. 24   How do I apply? Thanks to a partnership with the San Antonio Area Foundation, SAAHJ has an online scholarship application. Applicants must create an account via the foundation's website at saafdn.org, and log in to fill out the Internal Universal Application.   Instructions are also posted on SAAHJ's website.   What happens next? A panel of media and public relations professionals will evaluate applications in the spring. Winners will be featured at the annual SAAHJ gala.   Who do I contact with questions? Jennifer Ballesteros with the San Antonio Area Foundation can be reached at jballesteros@saafdn.org or by calling 210-775-6295.

14. What can you do next semester to continue your scholastic journalism career in a fulfilling and positive way?

15. What suggestions do you have to improve any part of this class? For example, you could address editor/staff relations, editor/editor relations, staff relations with the advisor, how we can better serve our community, direct suggestions on the newspaper itself, equipment or supplies we might need, computer program instructions you need, or even stories we should cover. I am open to anything. Part of my job is to make this a positive experience, yet it is also an educational opportunity for all of you and the other part of my job is to teach you new skills.

If you do not write enough, I refuse to give you a 100. PERIOD. Please make sure you write enough. A sentence or two is NOT ENOUGH!! I will not reward you with a 100 for garbage. No matter how much I want to be Santa Clause and give everyone a 100, I can turn into a Scrooge really fast when I see half-ass effort on this reflection.
