Scholarship Opportunities
(From Dr. Lundy)
ATTENTION LSU PRSSA MEMBERS: I strongly encourage you to apply for these awards. LSU students have been very successful in past competitions. (From Dr. Lundy)
The Baton Rouge Chapter of the Public Relations Association of Louisiana (PRAL) annually grants two awards to superior Louisiana collegians seeking public relations or journalism careers.
The Jack H. Sanders Memorial Award is open to all Louisiana college students and the William Michelet Honorary Award is awarded to a student attending either LSU or Southern University. Each scholarship is worth $1,000. For more information about these awards, visit the "Awards" section of www.pralbr.org Web site.
Award candidates must be full-time undergraduates majoring in public relations or journalism, or working toward a degree with an emphasis in public relations. The applicant for the Sanders Award must be a senior during the 2009-2010 school year. To apply, candidates should submit:
• A completed application form. (See attached files.)
• An official transcript.
• A press release publicizing themselves as the winner.
• A one-page essay (see application for details).
• A brief letter of recommendation.
If applying for both awards, a student need submit only one transcript. However, a separate application form, press release and essay are required for each scholarship.
Please encourage your students to apply. Your assistance in promoting these awards is greatly appreciated. Applications should be postmarked no later than Thursday, November 20, 2008 and mailed to Michelle Spielman, Office of Public Affairs, Louisiana State University – South Campus, 8000 GSRI Road, Building 3110, Baton Rouge, LA 70820.
The recipients will be recognized at PRAL's January 2009 banquet. If you have questions, I can be reached at 225-578-4675. Thank you for supporting PRAL!

LSU PRSSA wins bid to host regional conference in 2009!
Hey PRSSAers,
Get excited because LSU's PRSSA has won the bid to host a regional activity!!!!!!!! Save the Date: April 17 for "Geaux Governmental: Communicating in the Capital City." At the next meeting, (Oct. 23) we'll be talking about forming a committee for regional activity so we can get the ball rolling on booking speakers, getting topics together, etc. This is an awesome way to put LSU's chapter on the map, learn more about the PR field, network with local professionals and other members from around the region, and raise money for our chapter! Being on the committee team will also be a great way to earn active member points and build your resume! Let us know if you have any questions, comments, or concerns!
Sincerely,
Laura Weems
Fundraising Chair/Regional Activity Coordinator
