Journalism Foreign Intrigue Scholarship

Kristin Okinaka and friend/coworker Bopha at the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh

The Journalism Foreign Intrigue Scholarship was established by a UW Journalism alum, and provides financial support for a journalism student to work as a intern reporter at a foreign newspaper and to travel after the internship. The donor's goal is to give journalism students exposure to another culture and a more thorough understanding of journalism and culture.
