NPC Scholarship Team seeks judges for Fall 2023 Lewis Scholarship applicants

The National Press Club's Scholarships Team is recruiting volunteers to help judge applications for the Fall 2023 Lewis Scholarship.

Judging will be conducted virtually via Zoom over a two-hour period the morning of Saturday, July 29. Judges will review application materials the week prior to the July 29 meeting, then rank candidates as a group that day. 

The Lewis Scholarship, which launched in 2023, provides free housing and a monthly stipend to support student journalists of color who plan to intern at news media outlets in Washington, D.C. — an estimated value of $10,000. The scholarship is awarded to one undergraduate student journalist of color each fall, spring, and summer semester. 

If you'd like to be a judge or have questions about the selection process, contact Alexis Garcia ([email protected]) or Erin Looney ([email protected]) for details.
