The Society of Professional Journalists has donated $1,250 to create a scholarship worth $625 for the 2024 and the 2025 spring semesters.
The scholarship is specifically targeted at a media communications major at Casper College. Other requirements include a 3.0 GPA, enrollment in a minimum of six credit hours, and having served on the Chinook newspaper staff.
According to Bri Weigel, communications instructor at Casper College, the scholarship was created “To ensure students will receive a degree in media communications, which is a professional, ethical degree in journalism.”
