UNT students receive journalism scholarships
DENTON (UNT), Texas -- Six University of North Texas students have each received $10,000 scholarships to earn master's degrees in journalism from the Frank W. Mayborn Graduate School of Journalism. The graduate school was established in 1999 after UNT's Department of Journalism received a gift from the Frank & Sue Mayborn Foundation Advise and Consult Fund at Communities Foundation of Texas. Civic leader Frank W. Mayborn owned the Temple Daily Telegram, Killeen Daily Herald and KCEN-TV, the NBC affiliate serving Temple and Waco, before his death in 1987. His wife, Sue Mayborn, is now the publisher of the two newspapers. Through the fund, the school is able to offer scholarships. The scholarships are for one academic year and may be renewed for an additional year. Beginning this fall, the Mayborn Graduate School will be part of the larger Frank W. and Sue Mayborn School of Journalism at UNT. The new school, which will become UNT's 12th school or college, will also house undergraduate degree programs that have been offered through the university's Department of Journalism since 1945. This year's scholarship winners are: - Elise Brooking of Brownsboro
- Noah Bunn of Wells, Miss.
- Tasha Hayton of Flower Mound
- Rebecca Hoeffner of Watauga
- Sarah M. Perry of Olive Hill, Ky.
- Jayme Rutledge of Dallas
