JOURNALISM STUDENT GRANTS

In the mid-1970s, the 8 Ball Emergency Fund for Journalists (previously known as the 8 Ball Welfare Foundation) approved a second, related mission, awarding limited and smaller grants to journalism students. This is only done when the board determines sufficient funding remains after providing grants to working journalists.

Over the years we have provided help to students in need at the following Southern California schools:

Los Angeles City College | Santa Monica City College | El Camino College | Cerritos College

Cal State University, Long Beach | Cal State University, Northridge | Cal State University, Fullerton

California State University, Los Angeles | Cal Lutheran | East Los Angeles College |

Pasadena City College | Pierce College | Mount San Antonio College | Loyola Marymount University |

Los Angeles Valley College | California Lutheran University | USC

Glendale Community College | Rio Hondo College
