Journalism Education Foundation of New England Scholarship

Eligibility Requirements

Must be a resident of New England (CT, MA, ME, NH, RI, or VT).
Applicants may attend a college or university outside New England — residency determines eligibility, not school location.

Must have a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Students may apply each year and may be selected in multiple years, but the scholarship is not renewable.
