Any Press Club member is eligible for this scholarship.
To apply, send your resume and a proposal for how you would spend the money and include a signed Scholarship Information Release Don Watkins Memorial Scholarship – Information Release (may be electronic signature) and submit with your application via email to email@idahopressclub.org.
