For years, the Tampa Bay Association of Black Journalists has sought to cultivate aspiring communications professionals by offering scholarships to outstanding undergraduate minority college students. Applicants must have a connection to the Tampa Bay area and plan a career in journalism.
Previous recipients have attended schools such as Howard University, Spelman College and the University of South Florida.
The winner of the $1,000 TBABJ Griot Drum Scholarship for 2007 is Kristal Roberts. A graduating senior, Kristal hails from Fort Lauderdale and is pursuing a career in Media Management at the University of South Florida in Tampa. She works as a reporter at WUSF 89.7 News and has interned at Platinum Television. Kristal expects to graduate in May.
Please join us in congratulating and encouraging Kristal and others like her. If you or someone you know could benefit from our annual scholarship contest, please contact me at sday@sptimes.com.
Warmly,
Sherri Day
