Judges needed to help select Club diversity scholarship recipient on June 26

The National Press Club Scholarship Awards Team needs your help! We will be judging applicants for the 2021 Julie Schoo Award for Diversity in Journalism on Saturday, June 26. The NPC's scholarship awards have been life-changing for past recipients, and you can contribute to that experience by helping review these entries.

We are going to decide winners virtually in Zoom groups. Judges will receive a set of online applications to read during the week leading up to June 26. The judging will be conducted over a two-hour period the morning of June 26.

The Diversity in Journalism Award, named for the late Julie Schoo of the National Press Club staff, is a $20,000 scholarship (distributed over four years) for an incoming college freshman who is committed to expanding news coverage of marginalized groups and issues.
