The Associated Press and
Google announce a new national scholarship program intended to foster digital and new media skills in student journalists. The
Online News Association, the world’s largest membership organization of digital journalists, will administer the program.
The AP-Google Journalism and Technology Scholarship program will provide $20,000 scholarships for the 2012-13 academic year to six promising undergraduate or graduate students pursuing or planning to pursue degrees at the intersection of
journalism, computer science and new media. The program is targeted to individual students creating innovative projects that further the ideals of digital journalism. A key goal is to promote geographic, gender and ethnic diversity, with an emphasis on rural
and urban areas.
Our goal: To shine a light on the hidden treasures in schools across the country — the digital-minded journalists who will be the future of our industry.
Applications are now open for the 2012-13 academic year. Scholars will be chosen in Spring 2012.
“AP has long recognized how important and powerful new digital tools and knowledge can be in the hands of journalists,” said Sue Cross, AP senior vice president for the Americas. “The scholarship program, part of our ongoing relationship with Google, will
help build these vital skills in a new generation of journalists.”
