Club Scholarship Awards Committee co-chairs discuss selection process on podcast

As part of the National Press Club’s efforts to support the careers of future journalists, three annual scholarships are awarded to college students who plan to study journalism. Two of the awards, the Richard G. Zimmerman Journalism Scholarship and the Julie Schoo Award for Diversity in Journalism, are awarded to freshmen, while the Feldman Fellowship for Graduate Studies in Journalism is awarded to first-year graduate students.
