Applicants should be enrolled as a journalism major, but if their university does not offer such a major, they may present other evidence of intent to prepare for a career in the field (not advertising, public relations, publicity, law, or related fields).

Selection is based primarily on the potential to succeed in news media careers.

Financial need is considered only if 2 or more applicants are equally qualified.
