It's Not Easy Winning An NPC Scholarship

As part of the National Press Club’s efforts to support the careers of future journalists, the club awards three annual scholarships to college students who plan to study journalism. Two of the awards, the Richard G. Zimmerman Journalism Scholarship and the Julie Schoo Award for Diversity in Journalism, are awarded to freshmen, while the Feldman Fellowship for Graduate Studies in Journalism is awarded to first year graduate students.

In this episode of Update-1, NPC Broadcast Podcast member Sarah Dolezal interviews the co-chairs of the NPC Scholarship Awards Committee, Alicia Mundy and Gillian Rich. They discuss the competitive nature of the awards, the process of choosing a winner and the impact these awards have on the winners' careers.
