Dallas-Fort Worth STC Community

LSC offers two scholarships to DFW metroplex area students:

• The Traditional Education Scholarship is for students pursuing a traditional bachelor’s or continued education degree/certificate in a technical communications field.
• The Professional Development Scholarship is for those seeking additional coursework, not necessarily leading to a degree or certificate, but for professional development in the technical communications field. This includes software training, pre-conference workshops, and any other training session or workshop deemed appropriate by the scholarship committee.

Scholarship Evaluation

Judging of scholarship entries by the LSC scholarship committee is based on the proficiency of knowledge you demonstrate through your application, and overall presentation of the application. Judges look for the following as criteria during the evaluation process:

• Completeness and accuracy of the application 
• Demonstration of excellent writing skills
• Presentation-usage of whitespace, color and graphical elements

When multiple applicants are viewed comparable in respect to application quality, financial need will be considered. Winners will be notified by phone or email and will receive a formal scholarship letter by mail. The winners will also be formally recognized at the MAY 2010 Banquet.
