The Comcast Corporation and NBCUniversal News Group have awarded the FAMU School of Journalism and Graphic Communication (SJGC) a grant to support our goal of educating future journalists and content creators, and advancing diversity and equity in media. Grantee students will possess a track record of (i) academic achievement, (ii) working in support of issues related to diversity, equity and inclusion, and (iii) creating content reflective of diverse communities that provide insight into contemporary challenges. A specific goal of this grant is to assist enrolled students who are experiencing financial hardships. These funds may be used to help mitigate these hardships upon a student’s request. Funds may also be used to support professional development and academic opportunities for students.
