The Virginia Press Women Foundation is pleased to offer a $1,000 scholarship to a deserving Virginia college student interested in pursuing a career in communications.

The Agnes Cooke Scholarship competition is open to any Virginia college student or to any Virginia resident attending an out-of-state college. Scholarship applicants must be planning a career in journalism, photojournalism, public relations or another related communications field. Applicants do not have to be enrolled in a journalism or public relations degree program to qualify, but strong evidence of a commitment to the field of communications is essential. The scholarship competition is open to female and male students and to undergraduate and graduate students. Members of Virginia Professional Communicators receive additional consideration.
