## About this scholarship

The Hutchinson News Future Journalist Scholarship, administered by the Hutchinson Community Foundation, supports graduating high school seniors who intend to pursue careers in media. To qualify, applicants must attend a high school located within the coverage area of the Hutchinson News and plan to major in journalism, photojournalism, or communications. The program awards one $2,000 scholarship and one $1,000 scholarship to selected students. To be considered, candidates must complete the application process and submit all required materials by the deadline of 4 p.m. March 22. While this specific scholarship is merit-based and focuses on academic and career goals rather than financial need, students are generally encouraged to complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, to secure additional state or federal funding for their college education. Recipients can use these funds to help cover tuition and related educational expenses at any accredited college or university.
