YOUNGSTOWN — The Youngstown Press Club will award $2,000 scholarships to college juniors or seniors from the Mahoning or Shenango valleys who are studying journalism or a related field.

Applicants must:
* Submit proof of a 3.0 or higher grade point average.
* Be entering their junior or senior year of college.
* Submit at least two writing or broadcast samples.
* Meet the June 30 application deadline.
* Reside in Mahoning, Trumbull, Columbiana, Mercer or Lawrence counties, but they may be attending college elsewhere.
Applicants should provide examples of community involvement.

After completing that form, applicants should download it to their computers and e-mail the form and all attachments to youngstownpressclub@gmail.com.
Scholarship recipients are encouraged to attend the Youngstown Press Club’s Sept. 7 Hall of Fame and Awards Banquet at Stambaugh Auditorium.
