"I am so grateful to the National Press Club for the Lewis Scholarship. I really appreciated the opportunity to connect with other journalists through the Club while living in Washington, D.C. for the first time. The scholarship allowed me to fully focus on my internship at POLITICO and take advantage of everything the city had to offer without worrying about finances. A highlight of my summer was attending the awards ceremony and meeting journalists whose work I follow and am constantly inspired by. As I start my career, I cannot thank NPC enough for the doors the scholarship opened last summer and continues to open now." |
