The Indianapolis Association of Black Journalists has had very little
interest in their annual $1,000 scholarship and they have extended the deadline.  They will consider college students majoring in journalism, as well as high school seniors who
have written for their school newspapers or can otherwise demonstrate a
commitment to our field. To be eligible, applicants must be black and must
have attended either high school or college (ideally both) in the state of
Indiana.

Along with the application, students will need: 1) two letters of
recommendation, 2) examples of work in the media (published articles or
tapes, if broadcast) and 3) a 250-300 word typed, double-spaced essay on
what attracted them to journalism and their goals within the field.

For an application or more information, contact Courtenay Edelhart, IABJ Scholarship Committee Chair  phone 317.338.8163, email courtenay.edelhart@indystar.com

Deadline has been extended to May 30.
