Michael Petrick Journalism Scholarship

The Michael Petrick Scholarship is funded by the generous gifts of Michael Petrick. This merit scholarship is awarded to a declared JAMS major on the journalism track and with a demonstrated commitment to a career in news or editorial commentary. Second degree students are not eligible. Eligibility includes:

• Major in Journalism, Advertising and Media Studies in the journalism track
• Full-time student
• Minimum cumulative GPA of 3.0

Students who have an up-to-date Panther Scholarship Portal General Application and the College of Letters & Science Scholarships and Awards Application will be considered, typically in spring each year. No additional or separate application is required; students should thoroughly fill out the Panther Scholarship Portal General Application and the College of Letters & Science Scholarships and Awards Application. Awards given in spring are for the following school year so students graduating that same spring or summer are not eligible. E.G. applications reviewed in Spring 2025 are for Fall 2025; students graduating in May or August 2025 are not eligible.
