The Mid-Career Scholarship awards $500 for any Idaho Press Club member to use for any training or project that will improve the working press in Idaho. This could include going to a conference you have wanted to attend or funding toward travel on that enterprise story you have been working on for months. The only catch: You must share what you learn with Press Club members through a discussion at a conference or an article in an upcoming edition of the Communicator. 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.
Applications are due February 15 of each year. The winner is announced at the Press Club’s annual awards banquet in May.
