The Ohio APME Scholarship is offered and judged by the Ohio APME Board, an organization of media editors served by The Associated Press.
You must be a college freshman, sophomore, or junior planning a career in print or broadcast news enrolled in an Ohio college or university during the 2013-2014 school year. Judging is based on your academic and/or professional achievements and your potential to become an outstanding journalist.
Send a resume and several examples of your work or a recording of your work for broadcast students, plus a 300-word essay on your career goals. A letter of recommendation from a professor or internship supervisor also is required. The letter must be in a sealed envelope, with the recommender’s signature written across the seal.
The material must be postmarked NO LATER THAN Jan. 17, 2014. The $2,000 winner will be recognized at the Ohio APME’s annual convention on May 18.
