Three days remain to apply for one of 10 additional scholarships that the Society of American Business Editors and Writers is now making available for the upcoming annual conference in Denver. Each scholarship will consist of free registration to the full conference plus $200 to help with travel costs.
Preference will go to business journalists who fit one of four profiles:
— Those who are out of work due to media cutbacks and want to stay in business journalism;
— Business journalism freelancers;
— Winners of 2008 Best in Business Awards whose employers will not pay for them to pick up their awards;
— Employed business journalists who are coming at their own expense and make a compelling case for how they would benefit from attending;
To be eligible, winners must register for the entire conference. SABEW board members and students are not eligible.
