American Agricultural Editors' Association (AAEA) Scholarships for Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow
Entry Deadline: March 31, 2010
Established by NACT in 1993 and adopted by AAEA in 2004, this award recognizes outstanding members of the Agricultural Communicators of Tomorrow (ACT) for their achievements in leadership, career-related experiences, academics and service. Applicants must be current members of ACT and enrolled as an undergraduate student at a university or college during the time of their application. Although funded by AAEA and its Professional Improvement Foundation, the scholarship is available to any ACT member, regardless of specific communications career path. The scholarship selection committee will consist of members of the AAEA Future Agricultural Communicators Committee and two representatives of ACT.
Recipients will be selected based on the following criteria:
- ACT involvement, leadership activities and other campus organizational
involvement
- Academic achievements
- Internships and career-related experiences
- Reference recommendations
Four scholarships will be presented at the annual ACT awards banquet during the Agricultural Media Summit in St. Paul, Minn., July 24-28, 2010. Recipients are not required to attend Ag Media Summit. One of these scholarships will be designated as the Memorial Scholarship, to which AAEA members can donate in memory of someone who was significant in their life and career. Three of the scholarships will provide $1,000, and the Memorial Scholarship amount will depend on additional donations received.
