SABEW offers scholarships to spring conference

The Society of American Business Editors and Writers will once again offer financial aid for its biggest annual event – the spring conference, to be held April 7-9 at Southern Methodist University in Dallas.

The scholarships total $4,000 and range from $500 to $1,000 each. They will be funded from SABEW’s David Morrow Fund and Benita Newton Fund.

The application process is now open to professional journalists and will close Feb. 25. Winners will be notified by March 3.

There will be four Morrow scholarships in all – two at $1,000 each, and two at $500 each.  One $1,000 Newton scholarship will be offered.

Applicants for the Newton award must be a minority.  Any professional journalist can apply for a Morrow scholarship.  Preference will be given to those working in digital media.

Interested applicants should send a resume and a cover letter to Warren Watson, SABEW executive director, at watson@sabew.org. Materials can also be sent by postal mail.  The address is:  SABEW, Suite 416, Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, Arizona State University, Phoenix, AZ 85004.

Morrow, a SABEW board member and longtime financial journalist who worked for several companies, died in January 2010. Newton was a business reporter at the Virginian-Pilot in Norfolk, Va., and died in 2005.
