TFAS presents three cash and scholarship prizes for the best story in a newspaper, magazine, online news site or blog in three categories:
- Award for Excellence in Collegiate Journalism
- Award for Excellence in Economic Journalism
- Clark Mollenhoff Award for Investigative Reporting
In 2020, TFAS awarded its Excellence in Collegiate Journalism awards during a summer ceremony at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. We are not accepting submissions for the economic and investigative awards for 2020. For more information, please contact U.S. Programs Director Joe Starrs at 202.986.0384 or jstarrs@TFAS.org.
About the Sponsoring Organization
The TFAS Journalism Awards are sponsored by the TFAS D.C. Summer Program track on Journalism + Communications, an academic internship program in Washington, D.C. Each year, approximately 100 outstanding college journalists are chosen to spend the summer in the nation’s capital through the TFAS program. They intern at major news organizations, attend site briefings at various government institutions, hear lectures from Washington’s leading reporters and editors and take courses in economics, ethics and leadership at George Mason University.
