Scholarships
The Eugene S. Pulliam School of Journalism offers several
scholarships to reward outstanding students for their contributions
to campus journalism. Journalism scholarships include:
The Angelo Angelopoulous Award
This award was set up by friends of this alumnus and journalist
and is presented to the student who has made the most outstanding
contribution to campus journalism during the past year.
James T. and Georgianne D. Neal Journalism Scholarship
James ('42) and Georgianne have devoted a lifetime to the field
of journalism, beginning with both being editors of the Butler
Collegian. Their professional lives included the
Noblesville (Ind.) Daily Ledger and the Indianapolis
News. Aware of the need to preserve freedom of the press and
the public's right to know, they established a scholarship fund at
Butler to encourage entering freshmen to major in journalism, to
participate in school publications and to develop the potential to
sustain a career in the field of journalism.
Arthur Levin Scholarship For the First Amendment
This scholarship was established to honor Arthur Levin, who
chaired the department of Journalism at Butler University from 1973
to 1997. Professor Levin started his career as a newspaper reporter
for Stars and Stripes while serving in the Korean War and
also wrote for The Chicago American before coming to
Butler. He was inducted into the Indiana Journalism Hall of Fame in
2003. The award is granted annually to a sophomore, junior or
senior student enrolled full-time in the College of Liberal Arts
and Sciences, with a preference given to those students pursuing a
journalism major. The student must be dedicated to the preservation
of First Amendment liberties as demonstrated either
through coursework or by work on editorial staffs of
student-run print or electronic publications.
Additional Scholarships
Scholarships often become available throughout the year from
additional funding sources outside and within Butler
University.
