About

The Student Journalist Impact Award, co-sponsored by the Journalism Education Association and Quill and Scroll since 1993, recognizes a secondary school student or team whose published journalism — a single piece, series, or multimedia work — demonstrably changed something: a school policy, a community conversation, an administrative decision, or a public understanding of a significant issue. One winner and up to five finalists are named annually; nominees must be submitted by March 15 each year.
