Daria Media is now accepting applications from female students of Journalism or Mass communications in three universities across Nigeria for the 2020 Mamman Marshal Scholarship for Women in Journalism (MMSWJ). The deadline for submission of applications is 6th December, 2019.
The scholarship award is specifically to support female students of Journalism or Mass communications in three universities across Nigeria.
The scholarship was instituted in 2017 to celebrate a man, who against the grain of his time educated his daughters; giving them an advantage that sets them apart from their peers. This scholarship award, set up by one of his daughters who has risen to become a reference point, a positive image and an example against a backdrop of impossibilities and impediments in the field of Journalism; is to honor her father and his extraordinary legacy.
In 2018, another set of 6 female students from these three universities were awarded the scholarship from the 2019 academic year to the completion of their first degree.
