FSPA proudly offers the Julie E. Dodd scholarship to an adviser to attend a summer media workshop. Dr. Dodd, who was FSPA’s Executive Director from 1988-1999, served the longest term in the organization’s history. During her 11- year tenure, Dodd helped develop FSPA’s Student Journalist of the Year Award program and worked to gain FSPA its not-for-profit status designation. She also helped establish the FSPA Foundation, which funds these scholarships.
The recipient of the Julie E. Dodd Scholarship will receive $500 toward registration for a course or workshop. The recipient is urged to share that gained knowledge in an adviser session during the next year’s state convention.
•Any adviser of an FSPA member staff is eligible to apply. You must have advised an FSPA-member staff for at least two years.
•All applicants must submit a letter of support from a colleague, administrator or local media contact.
•The deadline for online applications is April 1, 2013
Applications for the Julie E. Dodd Scholarship will be reviewed by a committee of advisers and college professors. An adviser may apply for both the Webb-Stapler and the Julie E. Dodd Scholarships but may receive only one scholarship.
