Deadline: 21 March of every year
The public is very dependent on news that is gathered and presented every day. Good journalism requires talent, dedication and a genuine interest in seeing the total picture and understanding what is most important. Diversity among journalists, especially in a region like the San Francisco Bay Area, plays a crucial role ensuring comprehensive and balanced presentation of the news. Filipinos have been underrepresented in journalism, so the founder of Filipinas Magazine, Mona Lisa Yuchengco, created this scholarship to support students of Filipino heritage who choose to pursue careers in journalism.
