Apply Now for the 2026-27 PSWA Scholarship
The Philadelphia Sports Writers Association annually awards scholarships to college students. To apply, download the attached pdf file, complete the application and submit by the designated deadline. For 2026, the deadline is set for 5 p.m., Sunday Dec. 6, 2026.
Typically the PSWA awards three scholarships of $1,000 to college sophomore and/or junior students who are studying communications with the intent on becoming a journalist, broadcaster, podcaster, reporter, public/media relations practitioner and/or pursuing other related careers. One winner, who stands out from the rest, will be named the Jack Scheuer Scholarship recipient in honor of the legendary Associated Press reporter and longtime PSWA member. The other two awards are simply known as PSWA Scholarships. We reserve the right to award more than three scholarships depending upon a variety of factors.
Besides being a collegiate sophomore or junior, students who apply for a Philadelphia Sports Writers Association Scholarship should either be attending a college in the Philadelphia metro region (Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware) or be a native of the Philadelphia metro region and attending a college or university elsewhere in the country.
