Scholarships for aspiring journalists from Google, the AP and ONA
August 15, 2011
(Cross-posted on the
Google Student Blog
)
Consider the following:
Are you an undergraduate or graduate student in the U.S. with new ideas about news?
Have you already created original journalistic content with computer science elements?
Do you find yourself brainstorming different ways of telling stories and covering your community news using technology?
If you responded with a resounding “yes” to any of the above questions, then the new
AP-Google Journalism and Technology Scholarship
may be perfect for you.
To further encourage and enable innovation from classrooms and dorm rooms alike, we’re announcing a new scholarship program with
the Associated Press
that will provide $20,000 scholarships for the 2012-2013 academic year to six promising students pursuing or planning to pursue degrees at the intersection of journalism and technology.
While we’re underwriting the scholarships in partnership with the AP, the
Online News Association
will be responsible for administering the program and managing the selection process. We support
a variety of scholarships
aimed at giving students from historically underrepresented groups experience in the technology industry, and a key goal of this program will be to promote geographic, gender and ethnic diversity, with an emphasis on rural and urban areas.
Whether you’re exploring data visualizations, 3D storytelling, digital ethics or something else entirely, as ONA’s executive director Jane McDonnell says, “our hope is to shine a light on the hidden treasures in schools across the country—the digital-minded journalists who will be the future of our industry.”
Help us shine a light in your direction—
applications are open
until January 27, 2012. We hope this program inspires today’s students as they become leaders showcasing what’s possible through digital journalism, and we look forward to celebrating the scholarship winners at the 2012 ONA conference in San Francisco.
