Judges needed to help select Zimmerman Scholarship recipient, July 24

The National Press Club Scholarship Awards Team needs your help!

We plan to judge applicants for the 2021 Zimmerman Award for high school seniors on Saturday, July 24. The Club'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 of semi-finalists to read during the week leading up to July 24. The judging will be conducted over a two-hour period on July 24 starting 9:30 a.m. promptly.

The Richard G. Zimmerman Scholarship is a $5,000 award to help an incoming college freshman pursue journalism.
