Student/Newspaper Partnership Grants
The NAA Foundation has given Student/Newspaper Partnership Grants annually since 1997. The program provides funds to help establish or revive student newspapers. Grants are awarded to partnership proposals between high schools and their local professional newspapers. Applications are not being accepted at this time.
High Five Grants
In an effort to support 21st century learning, the NAA Foundation may award up to 10 grants to middle schools to help launch or sustain student newspapers. Schools receiving grants must agree to use the “High Five" curriculum in their publication efforts and then report on their usage.
Young Publishers Grant
Young Publishers is designed to help high school students and advisers learn the skills required for success in newspaper publishing through the development of a business plan. To accomplish this, students and advisers must interact with and be mentored by volunteers from the local professional newspaper as the business plan is crafted. Applications are not being accepted at this time.
Emerging Media Workshop
In this three-day training opportunity, high school journalism advisers learn how to take their print publications to the Web. The workshop also includes an introduction to multimedia storytelling techniques and social networking.
Teen Fellowship Program
This program gives youth content editors the opportunity to nominate their student staffers for a fellowship to attend the NAA Foundation’s Young Reader Conference. At the conference, teen fellows take part in a training program and work together to create a presentation that provides age-centric feedback about the industry’s efforts to reach them.
News Challenge
A cutting-edge training session for college students, News Challenge harnesses their creativity to develop new content and business models for the news industry.
