Need-based scholarships
NCSMI awards
three full-tuition scholarships to minority students and six $75 scholarships
to any student based on need.
The
scholarships apply toward the $160 registration fee.
Four
of the scholarships are named in memory of NCSMA associates. One,
the Elizabeth Anna Windsor Scholarship, honors the memory
of the daughter
of Salem adviser Kay Windsor and her husband. Elizabeth died Oct.
11, 1996. A second scholarship honors the memory of longtime Kinston
High
adviser Oran Perry, who died Feb. 8, 1998.
The third scholarship is named in memory of Paula Carole Faircloth,
daughter of Clinton High adviser Mary Lou Faircloth and her husband.
The fourth is named in memory of John Bittner, UNC-CH professor
of electronic communication.
Merit-based scholarships
Students are also encouraged to apply for one of two merit-based
scholarships covering $160 Institute tuition. Both were established
by the N.C. Scholastic
Media Advisers Association in February 2005. Both honor two UNC-CH School
of Journalism and Mass Communication icons.
Professor Chuck Stone and Dean Richard Cole retired last May.
Stone has addressed scores of NCSMI students each summer. He is a tireless
advocate for student press rights. The Chuck Stone Institute Scholarship
for Courage of
the Press honors a student who also respects student press freedoms.
Cole is a former director of NCSMA. During his 26 years as dean of the School,
he hailed the association as one of the most important outreach efforts of
the School. Cole, noted across the country for his leadership abilities,
was UNC’s
longest standing dean. The Richard Cole Institute Scholarship for Editorial Leadership
recognizes a student who has also exhibited exemplary leadership.
All applicants must write short letters discussing their career aims and
why they want to attend the Institute. Advisers should write supporting letters
stating why the students deserve the award. Applications should be postmarked
by May
25.
