About this scholarship
The Bernard Kilgore Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a high school student who is planning to pursue a career in journalism. This student also is named the Garden State Scholastic Press Association's New Jersey High School Journalist of the Year. The competition is open to New Jersey residents attending New Jersey high schools. Applicants must have participated in high school journalism for at least two years. Applicants are nominated by teachers at schools that are members of the Garden State Scholastic Press Association. Editors of newspapers that are members of the New Jersey Press Association also may nominate students. Applicants must submit at least one sample of relevant spreads from their yearbook so the judges can see the context of their work. Applicants must also submit three or four letters of recommendation from their adviser, other teachers who know their leadership and journalistic abilities, and practitioners with whom the applicant has worked. A letter from the principal is desirable, but not absolutely necessary. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the New Jersey Press Foundation for more information.
