The National Scholastic Press Association is accepting entries for the Journalism Honor Roll and Wikoff Scholarship for Editorial Leadership. The deadline for both is Feb. 26.

The NSPA Journalism Honor Roll honors students who have achieved a 3.75 or higher grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) and have worked in student media for two or more years. Additionally, seniors who qualify for the Honor Roll and submit additional information requested on the entry form are entered into a competition for one of our $1,000 scholarships. All Honor Roll inductees will receive a certificate of recognition. A listing of all inductees into the Honor Roll will be published in NSPA’s Best of the High School Press.

The $1,000 Wally Wikoff Scholarship for Editorial Leadership will be given to a high school senior on the staff of an NSPA member newspaper with a minimum 3.5 grade point average on a 4.0 scale or equivalent. In addition to the entry form, applicants must submit three published editorials and a recommendation from their adviser.  The award was created in 1998 in recognition of Wikoff’s service as executive director during the 1970s.
