The Capital Gazette Memorial Scholarship Fund

About the Organization

Established in 2018, The Capital Gazette Memorial Scholarship Fund, a Community Foundation of Anne Arundel County Scholarship, was created in memory of the lives lost during the tragic attacks on the Capital Gazette newsroom. The fund provides an annual award to select students pursuing a degree in Journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park.
 
It honors the lives of Gerald Fischman and John McNamara, both alumni of the University; Robert Hiaasen, a lecturer in Journalism at the University; Wendi Winters, a reporter at the Capital Gazette; and Rebecca Smith, who worked on the Capital Gazette sales team.
 
This scholarship is administered through the University of Maryland Philip Merrill College of Journalism. To apply, visit the University of Maryland website here.
