Greater Milwaukee Foundation Journal Foundation/Donald & Barbara Abert Scholarship

The Greater Milwaukee Foundation Journal Foundation/Donald and Barbara Abert Scholarship is funded by a generous gift from the Greater Milwaukee Foundation. Eligibility for this academic merit scholarship includes:

• Major in Journalism, Advertising and Media Studies in the journalism or media studies track (ad/pr track not eligible)
• Demonstrated financial need as shown on the FAFSA
• Full-time enrollment
• U.S. citizen

Preference will be given to students with an affiliation with the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Milwaukee operations of E.W. Scripps Co. (for example, WTMJ-TV) or Gannett Wisconsin (for example, the Green Bay Press Gazette). Contact the department for a full list of affiliated companies. An affiliation could include a job at one of these companies or a relative who works or worked at one of these companies.

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 between February and April. 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.
