Nat'l Scholastic Press Association Journalism Honor Roll

NSPA Member:

This is your last-minute reminder that the NSPA Journalism Honor Roll deadline is quickly approaching, and NSPA strongly encourages you to send in your materials now. We will need to receive all of your students' Honor Roll submissions by Feb. 29, 2012 at 5 p.m. This is not a postmarked due date.

Our records indicate that your students did not participate in this opportunity last year. The NSPA Journalism Honor Roll is a chance to recognize your students who have excelled academically and as a member of your publication staff. Entry in this contest is free with your current membership.

Students must meet the following requirements in order to be considered:

-Complete a minimum of one year on an NSPA member publication staff as of Feb. 29, 2012
-Provide verification of at least a 3.75 GPA on a 4.0 scale
-The adviser must provide a written recommendation. A blanket letter for all eligible students is acceptable.

All students who are eligible and submit the required materials will be honored and sent a certificate this spring.

Students who wish to apply for the Journalism Honor Roll and/or Wikoff Scholarship opportunities will need to submit additional materials. The deadline is also Feb. 29, 2012, and all forms may be found at NSPA's website under the form central.

Please direct any questions you have to Kate Brickman, NSPA contest and critique coordinator, at contests@studentpress.org.

Thank you for your membership, and we look forward to your participation in these great opportunities.

This email is being sent to current NSPA members and past entrants of our contests.
