Apr 4, 2005 in SCHOLARSHIPS
Journalism and Women Symposium (JAWS) Scholarships
contact YUMI WILSON
Scholarships range from $300 to $600, and students are chosen based on merit, experience, background and financial need.
In addition, one student will be chosen for the Joan Cook Scholarship, which honors the life of Joan Riddell Cook. Cook, who died of breast cancer in 1995 in New York, was a founding director of JAWS, a journalist, a union leader, a moral leader and generous friend to three generations of people engaged in the work of making the world a more just place. She was one of seven named plaintiffs -- and a moving force -- in a class action sex discrimination suit against the New York Times filed in 1974.
All scholarships will be distributed once you arrive at JAWS camp.
Deadline to apply is June 1, 2005.
Please send your resume, a statement of why you would like to attend JAWS and at least one letter of recommendation to:
