Two other scholarships require special applications which are in Dean Murphy’s office:

The recipient of this scholarship will be given $10,000 in tuition remission for the 2011/2012 academic year and a paid summer internship at Fox News or Fox Business Channel in the summer of 2012.  It requires a DAR, a resume and an essay.

The scholarship will be awarded to a rising Junior or Senior student who is dedicated to enhancing diversity in the field of journalism, video/television, or a related major and selected on the basis of demonstrated academic achievement and intention to pursue a career in journalism.  Preference will be given to a student majoring in Journalism, Video/Television or a related major and who is from an underrepresented community.

The decision is made by Dr. Cornog and Fox News executives.  See Assistant Dean Murphy for this application.
