This scholarship is administered by the Foundation and was made possible by the generous donations of family, NSPRA colleagues and the Minnesota School Public Relations Association (MinnSPRA) in memory of NSPRA past-president Dawn K.

To be eligible for application candidates must:

• Be employed in a full-time professional school public relations position;
• Be a member in good standing of an NSPRA state/regional chapter (unless there is no chapter in the member’s state/region); and

NSPRA membership is not required to qualify for eligibility.

The application period for NSPRA 2023 National Seminar Scholarships is now closed. Winners are expected to be announced in April. All applicants will be notified via email of their submission status.
