Journalists, editors eligible for $5,000 scholarships for religion courses
Religion Newswriters Association is inviting all journalists to apply to its Lilly Scholarships in Religion Program. The scholarships give full-time journalists up to $5,000 to take college religion and spirituality courses.
The scholarships can be used at accredited colleges, universities, seminaries or similar institutions. Journalists can take any religion course they choose. Scholarships cover tuition, books, registration fees, parking and other course-related costs. Online and travel classes are also eligible (as long as travel costs are a part of the curriculum).
All full-time journalists—including reporters, editors, designers, copy editors, editorial writers, news directors, researchers and producers—are eligible, regardless of their beat.
The next scholarship application deadline is Jan. 1, 2012. Scholarships must be used within three academic quarters of their award date. Only full-time journalists working in the general circulation news media are eligible.
Complete information about the Lilly Scholarships in Religion program is available on RNA’s website. Direct questions to Amy Schiska at 573-355-5201 ext. 3#, or [email protected].
