HFC JOURNALISM SCHOLARSHIP<\/h2>\n

The Journalism Scholarship Program was one of Hawaii Filipino Chronicle\u2019s special projects, totaling $10,000 worth of monetary awards for future journalism and mass communicators in the 50th<\/sup>\u00a0state.<\/p>\n

Established in 2019, the $2,500 annual scholarship was meant to address the\u00a0under-representation of Filipinos in journalism and mass communications (JMC) in general. Declining enrollments in JMC schools adversely affect the number of qualified graduates entering the workforce. The Chronicle hoped that a journalism scholarship program would help motivate local Filipino students to study and work in Hawaii\u2019s media field.<\/p>\n

Since its inception, the Chronicle\u2019s scholarship program has provided\u00a0financial assistance to students of Filipino heritage who majored in JMC at one of the four-year accredited universities in Hawaii. Winners were also given the opportunity to\u00a0demonstrate what they learned in their classrooms and apply their writing skills in our newsroom. The following scholarship recipients all graduated with honors.<\/p>\n

The Chronicle appreciates and thanks all those who donated and supported the scholarship.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
