The Journalism Education Foundation of New England (JEFNE) is now accepting applications for its 2025 scholarship program, including the prestigious MacGregor Fiske Award. The program aims to support aspiring journalists from New England as they pursue careers in the field.
JEFNE awards scholarships to up to 10 students annually. To qualify, applicants must be residents of one of the six New England states: Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, or Vermont. Candidates should also be planning to enroll in or currently attending a post-secondary institution with a strong focus on journalism.
Applicants are encouraged to submit a resume, an academic transcript, and several writing samples showcasing their journalistic skills. Recommendations from teachers, editors, or other mentors are also an important component of the application process. Scholarships only apply to undergraduate education.
