The School of Journalism and Mass Communication encourages well-qualified students to apply for outside funding of their studies. Some fellowships and study grants are available from private agencies and foundations. The Graduate College provides current listings of potential sources. Students often find assistantships or other forms of University employment outside of the School. Only graduate and undergraduate students currently enrolled in the School are eligible to apply for these scholarships.
Awards range from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
Many of the scholarships recognize outstanding professional work of the School's students. Student research is supported by Small Murray Grants. Computer use funds are also made available to students through the School.
