CAPIO Now Offering Young Communicator Scholarship

CAPIO recently launched its Young Communicator Scholarship, which is open to undergraduate and graduate students and recent grads who are pursuing a career in the field of government communications.

“With the cost of receiving a degree continuing to rise and the challenge of getting started in the highly competitive field of public-sector communications, the Young Communicator Scholarship will provide some much needed financial assistance to students,” said CAPIO President Christine Brainerd, APR. “We are pleased to continue to grow our education and development offerings to our members to help them move ahead.”

The winner of the first $1,500 scholarship will be announced at CAPIO’s annual conference in Newport Beach next April.

Scholarship applicants must be majoring in a communications-related field at an accredited college or university in California. Communications fields include (but are not limited to) communications studies, public relations, advertising, broadcasting, digital media, English, film, journalism and marketing. Applicants must have an overall college or university GPA of 3.0 or better
