WJEA Members may apply for a $750 grant for in-state professional development where clock hours may be offered or attend a national JEA/NSPA convention.
One grant is given to an experienced adviser and one to a new adviser with three or fewer years of service.
Grant money may be used for the adviser's travel, housing, meals and/or registration fees. It is not to be used for supplies or classroom materials. If used locally, the money can be used for more than one journalism related training or conference, the total not to exceed $750. If it is not possible to use the funds within one year, the remaining balance can be carried over to the next year.
