Guy P. Gannett Scholarship Fund

Description

The Guy P. Gannett Scholarship Fund was established in 2000 by the Guy P. Gannett Foundation to provide support for students majoring in journalism or a field reasonably related, including all forms of print, broadcast or electronic media. Recipients must be graduates of Maine high schools or home-schooled in a Maine community during their last year of secondary education. Students will be chosen based on demonstrated interest in journalism, financial need and academic achievement. The scholarship recognizes students who will become journalists. Their dedication to this profession is evident in their choice of coursework and extracurricular activities. Recipients are encouraged to apply for renewal consideration throughout their post-secondary and graduate education. As recipients progress through school, the Selection Committee expects to see a significant increase in demonstrated intent to pursue a career in journalism. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Maine Community Foundation, Inc. for more information.
