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 M. 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 PRAL Web site, www.pralbr.org.
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 must be a senior during the 2008-2009 school year. To apply, candidates should submit:
A completed application form. (See attached PDFs.)
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, you need submit only one transcript. However, a separate application form, press release and essay are required for each scholarship.
Applications should be postmarked no later than Friday, March 28, 2008 and mailed to Michelle Spielman, Office of Public Affairs, Louisiana State University, 3960 West Lakeshore Drive, Baton Rouge, LA 70808.
The recipients are scheduled to be recognized at PRAL's April luncheon. If you have questions, contact Erin Mustain at 225-578-4675.
