Mayborn Scholarship

We make between five and ten awards for $10,000 each to graduate students at the Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism. The deadline for scholarship applications is March 30 of each year for the following academic year.

Naturally, we also make awards to graduate students who plan to enter other journalism fields such as public relations, advertising, photojournalism and broadcast news. This new requirement adds diversity and fresh thinking from a variety of disciplines to the Mayborn Graduate Institute of Journalism.

The Mayborn program, which is the first nationally accredited professional master's degree in Texas, ensures that strong words will continue to come from North Texas Journalism.
