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.
