Religion Newswriters Association: Full-time journalists, receive money for religion courses through Lilly Scholarship
The Religion Newswriters Association is inviting journalists to apply to its Lilly Scholarships in Religion Program. The scholarships give full-time journalists up to $5,000 to take any college religion courses at any accredited institution at any time.
The scholarships can be used at accredited colleges, universities, seminaries or similar institutions. Journalists can choose any religion, spirituality or ethics course. 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 part of the curriculum).
All full-time journalists working in the general circulation news media—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 June 15, 2012. Scholarships must be used within three academic quarters of their award date.
You can find more information and the application for the Lilly Scholarships in Religion Program on RNA’s website.
