Hal Middlesworth Scholarship

The Hal Middlesworth Scholarship supports journalism majors at Eastern Illinois University who have demonstrated significant commitment to student media. The scholarship recognizes students who have devoted considerable time and effort as staff members of university publications such as The Daily Eastern News or Warbler for at least four semesters. Recipients must be full-time students in good academic standing who intend to pursue a career in journalism. The scholarship requires a 250-word essay explaining the applicant's career intentions and reasons for choosing journalism as a profession. Recipients must commit to re-enrolling for at least one additional semester beyond the award period. Awards are typically announced in the Spring semester and disbursed in the Fall semester.
