The APSE college scholarships are already paying dividends.
The evidence is Johanna Huybers of the Reno Gazette-Journal, one of our original scholarship winners in 2008, who will serve on a judging panel next month in Orlando. That’s the way it should work.
APSE will again award four $1,500 scholarships to collegiate journalists.
