NAHJ White House Correspondents' Association Scholarship

The NAHJ White House Correspondents' Association Scholarship was created to help diversify the pool of journalists who report on the White House. Students who are pursuing a career in journalism, with a commitment to politics, may apply. The student who is awarded this scholarship will also be paired with a mentor, a journalist who covers the White House. Scholarships are granted to graduate and undergraduate students who plan to work in English and/or Spanish-language journalism on whichever platform they choose. Students attending four-year colleges and community colleges in the United States and Puerto Rico are eligible for the scholarships. Students pursuing Spanish-language journalism must submit their essay in Spanish. Applicants must submit two references from people who are familiar with their academic and/or journalism work. Letters from relatives will not be accepted. Applicants must also submit work samples in print, broadcast, audio, photo and/or multimedia work samples. Please limit it to three. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the NAHJ for more information.
