Happy 2013, fellow journalists!

 

I just came across this writing announcement.  I urge that if you know
anyone who might qualify for this exceptional scholarship opportunity, that
you please assist in distribution. I have considerably edited the below for
length and clarity, but I have the link at the end for direct access to all
remaining information.

 

Thanks from a fellow writer, information below,

2013 Journalism Contest theme

Here's the question to ponder and to write about in three pages or less:

 

A strong workforce is an inclusive workforce: What can you do?

 

The winner of the 2013 Journalism Contest receives a four-year scholarship
to the South Carolina state-supported institution of his or her choice
provided, of course, that the winner is otherwise qualified.

The scholarship pays for undergraduate tuition and fees. Each institution
has its own definition of tuition and fees, which may or may not include
room and board.

 

 

Sponsored by the South Carolina Governor's Committee on Employment of People
with Disabilities
