Hello, ONA Students and Educators!
As the school year comes to a close and you begin to prepare for finals, we want to remind you that the deadline for the AP-Google Journalism and Technology Scholarship is fast approaching: Jan. 27, 2012.
The program will provide $20,000 scholarships for the 2012-13 academic year to six promising undergraduate or graduate students pursuing or planning to pursue degrees at the intersection of journalism, computer science and new media. The program is targeted to individual students creating innovative projects that further the ideals of digital journalism. A key goal of the program is to promote geographic, gender and ethnic diversity, with an emphasis on rural and urban areas.
We know many of you have questions about the application. What type of project is the committee looking for? Do I have to major in journalism? Can graduate students apply?
ONA Scholarship Manager Irving Washington will be on a Google+ Hangout to host a Q&A on how to prepare for the AP-Google Scholarship this Friday, Nov. 18, from 2-3 p.m. (ET).
The maximum number of Google+ Hangout participants is 10. Participants are invited to join the hangout at various times throughout the hour.
