Dear Friend,
The
future of our society lies in our youth.
SIPA believes that the education of our students is the most important
element in building a better future.
The
Southern Interscholastic Press Association is a non-profit organization of
public schools, including middle, junior and senior high schools and
independent schools. Our purpose
is to encourage a high degree of professionalism in scholastic journalism and
mass communications in the Southeast.
SIPA provides opportunities for students and advisors through awards,
scholarships, interactive tools and hands-on workshops.
Students who plan to pursue a career in
journalism in the future already benefit from programs like broadcast, literary
magazines, newspaper and yearbook staffs.
SIPA teaches students in these organizations more journalistic skills
that will get them ahead in their college courses and their future careers.
SIPA
members receive periodic newsletters featuring news from the world of
scholastic journalism. These
newsletters offer advice from nationally renowned experts to benefit
students. They also keep staff
updated on award and convention opportunities for their students.
SIPA
also has an annual convention and competition which offers a variety of
hands-on workshops taught by nationally recognized advisers and professional
speakers. Along with the annual
convention, the Carolina Journalism Institute provides an intensive summer
workshop taught by award-winning faculty members.
SIPA
gives students useful guidance and opportunities to ensure a better future, but
these opportunities do not come free.
We need your help.
Last year we raised $100 thousand
for SIPA. By making a donation you
will be helping us achieve our current goal of $200 thousand for the program. Apply for membership or make a donation
