SND Foundation
SNDF Scholarships
In 2008, the Society for News Design announced two new scholarship programs for university students. The scholarships are funded by donations from visual journalists worldwide.
The
first scholarship honors Edmund C. Arnold (1913-2007), viewed by SND members
as the father of U.S. newspaper design. Ed Arnold redesigned hundreds of newspapers
and inspired
thousands of visual journalists as an author, consultant, speaker
and journalism educator at Syracuse (New York)
University and Virginia Commonwealth
University
in
Richmond.
The Arnold scholarship is open to SND student members at Syracuse University who are majoring in journalism or in a field of related study, with the intent of pursuing a career in visual journalism.
The $5,000 scholarship is offered to juniors and rising seniors. Applicants are assessed on talent, scholarship, service and character. The annual award is renewable once, but recipients must re-apply for consideration. The first Arnold scholarship will be awarded in 2009.
The
SND Foundation scholarship is an annual $2,000
award open to sophomores, juniors and seniors interested in and showing promise
for pursuing a career in visual journalism at any accredited four-year
school worldwide. The student must be a member in good standing of the Society
for News Design. The annual award is renewable once, but recipients must re-apply
for consideration.
Contributions to the SND Foundation are generally tax deductible (in the United States) as charitable donations. To help SNDF support visual journalism education, please click here.
