Description

The Maria Elena Salinas Scholarship, our longest running scholarship, is made possible through a donation from NAHJ founding member Maria Elena Salinas. Formerly exclusively for students desiring a career in Spanish-language journalism, it is now offered to students pursuing careers in either English or Spanish-language. Scholarships are granted to graduate and undergraduate students who plan to work in English and/or Spanish-language journalism on whichever platform they choose. Students attending four-year colleges and community colleges in the United States and Puerto Rico are eligible for the scholarships. Students pursuing Spanish-language journalism must submit their essay in Spanish. Applicants must submit two references from people who are familiar with their academic and/or journalism work. Letters from relatives will not be accepted. Applicants must also submit work samples in print, broadcast, audio, photo and/or multimedia work samples. Please limit it to three. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the NAHJ for more information.
