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.

What better way to celebrate the holidays than with your fellow AAJA SFers and a whole bunch of food!

Mark your calendars for our annual holiday party from 6:30-9:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 7 at Intersection for the Arts, 925 Mission St. (next door to the San Francisco Chronicle offices) in downtown San Francisco.

Feast on food and drink. Mix and mingle with members of AAJA SF, the Society of Professional Journalists and the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association. It’s a great way to warm up for the 2012 Unity Convention in Las Vegas. We’ll also have a silent auction and other fun activities.

We’ll also be selling the 2012 AAJA Men of Broadcast Calendar! In addition to being fantastic gifts and stocking stuffers, the calendar raises money to support AAJA programming.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!
