The Webb-Stapler Scholarship, named after former FSPA Executive Directors John Webb and Harry Stapler, is awarded to advisers to support their training and to improve scholastic journalism in Florida.
The recipient of the award will receive a $500 scholarship, funded from interest on FSPA’s long-term investments. More than one award may be presented each year.
The Webb-Stapler Scholarship recipient must attend a course or workshop in journalism and follow-up with an article for the FSPA website detailing their learning experience. Applicants must:
· -- Be a member of FSPA.
· -- Provide information on the college or university course or media workshop you plan to attend.
· -- Include a letter of support from a colleague, administrator or local media contact.
· -- Complete this Webb-Stapler Scholarship application form.
Applications for the Webb-Stapler Scholarship will be reviewed by a panel of teachers and professors. An adviser may apply for both the Webb-Stapler and the Julie E. Dodd Scholarships but may receive only one scholarship. Scholarship recipients will be notified by/at the annual state convention in Orlando.
We urge you to prepare the Statement of Intent in advance so you can cut and paste it into this form. This form cannot be partially completed and saved for further revisions.
