Students pursuing a career in any one of several disciplines in the communications field have until March 6 to put in an application for the 2023 scholarship awarded by Wichita Professional Communicators.
The scholarship will provide $2,000 to a student pursuing a degree at a Wichita area college or university and planning a career in advertising, digital media, editing, graphic design, journalism, marketing, photography, public relations, public speaking, writing or other mass communications areas.
The scholarship recipient will also be awarded a one-year membership in WPC and its affiliated state and national organizations, Kansas Professional Communicators and National Federation of Press Women, which is open to both men and women.
The winner will be announced in spring 2023.
Students can find requirements for a complete application online at WichitaProfessionalCommunicators.com.
For more information, email WichitaProCom@gmail.com or contact WPC’s scholarship committee co-chair Wilma Moore-Black at wilma.black@wichita.edu.
“We have a strong, supportive membership that believes in giving back to grow our own communicators,” Moore-Black said. “The entire membership has many opportunities to get involved in WPC individually and group projects.”
Funds for the scholarship come from donations and WPC events like the annual mixer featuring a silent auction.
Thurs., Sept. 7 is the date for the 2023 annual mixer and silent auction at KMUW, 121 N. Mead in Old Town.
