Aaron J. Mace Scholarship Fund

The Aaron J. Mace Scholarship Fund supports undergraduate students in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication and was established through the estate from Elizabeth J. Rojahn in memory of her uncle, Aaron Mace.

About the process: Students do not apply for individual scholarships with the School of Journalism and Mass Communication. Students fill out one application and the scholarship committee matches students to awards. Scholarships are awarded based on financial need, academics, study area and involvement. Visit our website for more information about our undergraduate scholarship program and accessing our application.
