÷
free tuition
÷
$1,100 a month stipend

As many qualified
candidates apply, there are not nearly enough. Please consider this wonderful
opportunity and share it with another. Remember: no journalism majors (however
we have accepted many with broadcast education, PR, etc. backgrounds) and there
is no age limit -- so this could be your chance for a long awaited career change.
This is a once
in a lifetime opportunity that has the potential to change your life.
