SPJ/JEA High School Essay Contest

SPJ/JEA High School Essay Contest

The Sigma Delta Chi Foundation of the Society of Professional Journalists and the Journalism Education Association has proud to announce High School Essay Contest for all students in grades 9-12 in public, private and home schools. The Journalism Education Association supports free and responsible scholastic journalism by providing resources and educational opportunities by promoting professionalism, encouraging and rewarding student excellence. The first place, second place, and third place winner will receive $1,000, $500 and $300 scholarship respectively.

The Journalism Education Association, as the nation’s largest association of scholastic journalism educators and secondary school media advisers, denounces the practice of administrative prior review as serving no legitimate educational purpose.

  • Contestants may submit only one essay entry during any given contest year.
  • No individual having previously won a national SPJ Essay Scholarship will be eligible to compete at any level of the competition again.
