Scripps Howard Foundation Funds Teaching
Fellows Program at E.W. Scripps School of
Journalism
The
Scripps Howard Foundation has donated
$100,000 to the E. W. Scripps School of
Journalism to fund a Scripps Howard
Teaching Fellows Program for professional
journalists interested in becoming
journalism teachers.
The
new program combines a major increase in
the level of financial support for
doctoral students, a mentoring program and
teacher training. The new program will
allow the school to attract the best
applicants each year, said Dan Riffe,
interim director of the school.
The
Scripps Howard Foundation is a long-time
supporter of Ohio University, especially
the journalism school named in 1983 for
its founder, E. W. Scripps. During the
last 16 years, foundation gifts totaling
more than $3.9 million have funded the
Scripps Howard Visiting Professional
Chair, the Scripps Survey Research Center
and the renovation of the former Carnegie
Library into the E.W. Scripps School of
Journalism, rated among the top ten
journalism schools nationwide.
