Nebraska Press Women’s $1,000 Memorial Scholarship is available for graduate or full-time, upper-class undergraduate students. Graduate students must be enrolled for at least nine credit hours; undergraduate students for at least 12 hours.
In 2012, the NPW Memorial Scholarship and NPW Excellence in Media Scholarship were combined into the NPW Memorial Scholarship. See below for a list of past recipients.
To be considered for the scholarship, applicants must submit:

> Three samples of your work, such as newspaper/magazine/web stories, photographs, audio or video clips; advertising copy or layouts or professional social media posts.
> A personal letter that outlines your achievements and goals. This letter must be no longer than one single-spaced page. The letter will be a major factor considered by the scholarship committee.
> A reference letter from an adviser or faculty member that attests to your overall GPA, as well as your GPA in your major field; it also should note why you should be selected for this scholarship. A second letter from someone of your choice is optional.
