Gas prices got you down?
SPJ will award up to five $100 travel scholarships to take the sting out of traveling to Eugene for the Oct. 25 conference. Scholarships are given to working journalists who have to travel 100 or more miles and whose employers won’t underwrite their travel costs. Travel scholars will also have their admission to the conference waived. Find details about scholarships and the conference through this link.
