The Mayborn School teams up with the Scripps Howard Fund to train the next generation of journalists.
The Mayborn School of Journalism is thrilled to be one of two universities chosen to be a part of the Emerging Journalists program, an initiative by the Scripps Howard Fund to help create the newsrooms of tomorrow. This three-year program provides $300,000 to fund a variety of academic programs and student scholarships.
2024 Update!

After spending a week on campus in June learning from Mayborn faculty and mentors throughout the journalism field, this year's cadre of high school journalists have fanned out to learn from the experts serving in internships at various local media in the region.
