NABJ-Milwaukee Scholarships
INVESTING IN OUR FUTURE MEDIA PROFESSIONALS
The National Association of Black Journalists Milwaukee is proud to offer two scholarships for our deserving youth of Milwaukee and the surrounding area.
Carole J. Meekins Scholarship
This scholarship is named for longtime journalist, Carole Meekins. Carole has been working with TMJ 4 in Milwaukee for over 25 years. A former music teacher, she is the co-anchor of 'TMJ4 News at 5' with Steve Chamraz. On February 16th, 2020, TMJ4 debuted the "Positively Milwaukee Show With Carole Meekins," a show devoted to hopeful and uplifting stories in the Milwaukee area. The Carole J Meekins scholarship is offered to college students with a journalism major.
Gregory D. Standford Scholarship
Gregory D Stanford was a founding member of the Wisconsin Black Media Association and one of the most respected editorial columnists at the Milwaukee Journal and Journal Sentinel until his retirement in 2007. A native of Washington, D.C., Greg graduated from Marquette University, and played a key role in the development of what is now known as the Educational Opportunity Program (EOP). He passed away in 2019. In his honor, this scholarship supports high school seniors who have a passion for journalism and aspire to pursue a career in the field.
