Scholarships
"Getting the SPJ/LA scholarship meant a lot to me, financially and mentally. Financially because, $1,500 relieves so much pressure when you're broke and working two jobs to get through college. Mentally, it allowed me to think if I'm good enough for a scholarship from a prestigious press organization, that I'm good enough to be in a newsroom someday."
- Angel Carreras, 2016 recipient of the Bill Farr Memorial Scholarship. He is on a fellowship with KCRW-FM.
