Scholarship committee needs your help via Zoom this Saturday

The NPC Scholarship Committee needs your help! We will be judging for the Zimmerman Award on Saturday morning, August 29. The Richard G. Zimmerman Scholarship is a $5,000 grant to help an incoming college freshman pursue a career in journalism.

Because of the pandemic, we judged the first big scholarship last weekend --Julie Schoo Diversity in Journalism Award --virtually. Thanks to lots of work by our NPC tech experts and Joann Booz, our first attempt at virtual judging using Zoom was a success.

The scholarship awards have been life-changing for past recipients, and you can be a part of that experience by helping review the terrific entries we have received.

Now, thanks to input from several of our veteran award judges, we are going to make this week's Zoom judging even easier.  It will take place from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

Please contact committee Chairman Alicia Mundy at [email protected] or Board Member Gillian Rich at [email protected] and we will send you further details.
