2024-2025 Scholarship Appeal
From the desk of Carol Zuegner | November 1, 2024
You could say I grew up with journalism education – and then I made it my life’s work. I followed the path of my father Chuck Zuegner, who worked as a journalist and taught journalism at Creighton for 30 years. I just retired from teaching journalism at Creighton.
In my career as a reporter and editor and as an educator, I can see where journalism education adds value and experience, helping students grow and develop professionally and ethically. We need good journalists and media professionals more than ever.
Your financial support of the OPC Foundation is vital to developing future journalists and media professionals.
The OPC Foundation has supported journalism students in Nebraska for more than 50 years. Each year, the foundation awards more than 20 scholarships of $2,500 each. Thanks to the generosity of donors, the foundation awarded more than $50,000 in scholarships to students at Creighton University, the University of Nebraska Omaha, and the University of Nebraska Lincoln this year. Students from the University of Nebraska Kearney (UNK) and Chadron State College were awarded Jim Denney “Good News” Scholarships.
In addition, this year the OPC Foundation supported the UNO High School Media Conference and Nebraska High School Press Association. Supporting students before they reach college will help boost the foundation of journalism in the state of Nebraska.
Your gift supports the next generation of students pursuing careers in radio, television, print, public relations, and new media.
You can use the enclosed envelope to make your donation (make your check payable to the Omaha Press Club Foundation) or visit opcfscholarships.org to donate online.
Thank you for your support of the OPC Foundation and future journalists.
Sincerely,
Carol Zuegner
