2015-2016 Scholarship Application Available

JMC recognizes the financial burden of obtaining a college education and strives to help offset costs for students. Through our various scholarship programs, we recognize and reward students with high academic excellence, evidence of leadership and community service. Scholarship awards are made possible by generous donations from alumni and friends of the School, and these contributions benefit students in their academic pursuits. In 2014, JMC awarded a record-setting $65,000 in scholarships.

In fall 2014, JMC announced that it received a multi-million bequest that will transform the School's Photojournalism program. It is the the largest single gift ever made to Â鶹´«Ã½ to fund student scholarships and provide experiential-learning opportunities, and brings JMC’s endowment to more than $7.6 million, a historic all-time high for the School.

Until their recent retirements, Candace Perkins Bowen and John Bowen, along with Mark Goodman, were the heart and soul of the Center for Scholastic Journalism. Combined, this trio has contributed more than 140 years of service to scholastic journalism. Each will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Journalism Education Association (JEA) at this fall’s National High School Journalism Convention in Philadelphia.

A new degree program titled the Master of Arts in Journalism Education received its final approval from Ohio’s Department of Higher Education this summer. Since 2007, we have been training journalism educators in a concentration of the Master of Arts degree in Media and Journalism. Starting this fall, students are pursuing a standalone degree in journalism education.

This shift from a concentration to a standalone degree might seem minor but it gives our graduate program more focus and flexibility. Ours is the only master’s program solely dedicated to journalism education.
