The Freedom Forum gives $1,000 scholarships and a trip to Washington D.C. to 51 high school seniors (one student from every state and the District of Columbia) who want to pursue careers in journalism and who are "free spirits."
The Al Neuharth Free Spirit Scholarship and Conference program is a competitive process that requires an application and published journalism work. The conference will be held on March 13-19, 2009 at the Newseum. All 51 scholars who are selected will also be eligible to compete for one top scholarship of $10,000.
The annual deadline for scholarship applications is October 15. However, we have extended the deadline to it to December 21 (postmark date) for applicants from Rhode Island. The application is available online and more information about the program is available at www.freedomforum.org/freespirit.
