AEJMC Communication Theory and Methodology

2006 Barrow Minority Doctoral Student Scholarship

Applications are now being accepted for the 2006 Barrow Minority Doctoral Student Scholarship. The scholarship includes a $1,400 award and a free one-year membership in the Communication Theory and Methodology Division (CT&M) of the Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication (AEJMC). The scholarship honors Professor Lionel C. Barrow, Jr., of Howard University in recognition of his pioneering efforts in support of minority education in journalism and mass communication. The award is sponsored by the CT&M Division and made possible in part through contributions from the Minorities and Communication Division, the Commission on the Status of Minorities and personal donations, as well as royalties from Guido H. Stempel and Bruce H. Westley’s Research Methods in Mass Communication.

Minority students (U.S. citizens or permanent residents) enrolled in a Ph.D. program in journalism and/or mass communication are encouraged to apply. Applicants need not be members of AEJMC or the CT&M Division, nor does their work need to address issues of race. Applications will be judged on the promise the candidate's work shows for making a significant contribution to communication theory and methodology. To be considered for this scholarship, please send:

• a curriculum vitae
• a letter outlining research interests and career plans
• and two letters of recommendation to:

Edward Horowitz
Assistant Professor
School of Communication
Cleveland State University
2121 Euclid Avenue, MU 239
