The Journalism Education Association and National Scholastic Press Association are offering a grant to support quality research on student media and journalism education. Our small research grant is designed to help support independent research into scholastic journalism, student press law, the effects of participating in student media, and more. <\/span><\/p>\n

A committee comprising members from <\/span>JEA\u2019s<\/span><\/a> board of directors and representation from our partner organization, <\/span>NSPA<\/span><\/a>, will select the grant winner. We are looking for meaningful but feasible research projects, ones that are either already underway or can be executed and completed within a year (even if a culminating paper or report takes longer). <\/span><\/p>\n

Upon completion of the project, the grant guidelines require submission of a teaching-centric article to JEA\u2019s magazine, C:JET<\/a>. Additionally, the researcher should provide proof they have submitted an article for consideration to an additional appropriate academic\/scholarly\/education venue.<\/span><\/p>\n

Funds and eligibility: <\/b>This grant is open to researchers affiliated with an institution of higher ed and journalists or educators with research experience. Faculty, masters and PhD candidates also may apply. Up to $15,000 may be awarded to a single project, or the grant committee may split the grant and award funds to multiple projects. NSPA and JEA board members and staff are not eligible to apply. Funds cannot be used to cover stipends, salaries, or personnel. <\/span><\/p>\n
