Scholarship for NJ Newspaper Carriers
About the Isaac Roth Newspaper Carrier Scholarship
The Roth scholarship is valued at $2,000. One will be awarded
in 2012 to a New Jersey youth or adult newspaper carrier or to
the child of an adult carrier.
The application deadline is Friday, March 30, 2012.
A list of previous winners is available.
The competition is announced through the
circulation directors at New Jersey Press Association member newspapers.
Application
forms may be printed out from this website and mailed to the foundation along with supporting
materials.
Newspapers may nominate as many candidates as they wish.
However, only those applications that include a
Route Performance Questionnaire will be considered complete. The newspaper's circulation
director or a district
manager must complete a Route Performance Questionnaire for each
carrier or child of a carrier the newspaper nominates.
The scholarship is awarded from a trust fund
established in 1926 by the estate of Isaac Roth, who was a
newspaper carrier for the Newark Daily News, which is no longer in print. The trust
fund was transferred to the New Jersey Press Foundation in
1983.
