Asian American Journalists Association

This year, AAJA SF is awarding up to $8,000 in scholarships to talented student journalists. You don’t have to be a journalism or mass communications major to apply, but you must be able to demonstrate a strong intent to pursue journalism. Students are generally selected for Bay Area scholarships based on their commitment to journalism, journalistic ability, sensitivity to Asian Pacific American issues as demonstrated by community involvement, financial need and scholastic achievement.

Our scholarship program is made possible through the generosity of sponsors, AAJA SF members and locals who support our fundraisers. Thanks to you for making this possible.

To apply, download scholarship application here. The deadline to apply is March 31, 2012. You can also email organizers Susanne Brunner at susannejbrunner@gmail.com or Stephanie Chuang at steph.chuang@gmail.com to request a copy via email.

We’re excited to announce our six student scholarship winners for 2011!

Each year, we award up to $10,000 to talented students who are pursuing journalism as a career. Recipients are chosen based on their journalistic background, motivation, passion to cover Asian Pacific Islander issues, financial need and academic achievements.

Thanks to everyone for supporting the AAJA SF Scholarship Program over the years by attending our fundraisers, spreading the word, donating, bidding on silent auction items and volunteering. This program wouldn’t be possible without your support.
