Rick Woodson Journalism Scholarship

The Rick Woodson Journalism Scholarship was created to recognize an outstanding student in the Journalism program at SUNY Brockport who has demonstrated commitment and potential for excellence in the career of journalism and newswriting. Rick was an adjunct professor at Brockport for 11 years before his passing in March 2013. A sports writer for several decades with daily newspapers in Rochester, Hawaii, Louisiana and Oregon, Rick was a columnist for the Rochester Business Journal and host of a local radio show (The Golf Tee Show) until his death. He was an influential and inspirational instructor to many students during his relatively short time in the Department of Communication at Brockport.

To be considered for this opportunity you must apply through the “All Journalism, Public Relations and Broadcasting Scholarships" application.

The financial assistance is in the form of a tuition educational expense grant that may be used to cover educational costs such as room, board or college fees. The award will be credited to the recipient’s bill during the semester(s) of the award period. The student must use this award for educational expenses at the College and may not receive the award in cash.
