Arkansas Press Women is now accepting applications for its 2026 College Scholarship, offering undergraduate students an opportunity to receive financial support as they pursue careers in journalism, mass communication, or related fields.
Arkansas Press Women awards a $1,000 scholarship each spring to an undergraduate student — male or female — who is attending an Arkansas college or university, will be a junior or senior during the 2026-27 school year, and plans to work in journalism, mass communication, or a related communications profession.
The scholarship is funded through the Maudine Sanders Education Fund. Sanders, a former owner of the Springdale Morning News, was a longtime Arkansas Press Women member before her death in 2011. Her legacy continues through APW’s support of future communicators.
The application deadline is Saturday, April 11, 2026. The scholarship recipient will be recognized during the APW annual awards ceremony this summer.
Application details and materials are available on the Arkansas Press Women website.
