The Larry Fullerton Photojournalism Scholarship was established at The Dayton Foundation
through contributions from Larry Fullerton’s family and friends to assist students pursuing careers
in photojournalism. Larry Fullerton was a long time member of ONPA and both a photojournalist
and assistant managing editor of the Hamilton Journal-News.
The scholarship is open to undergraduate students enrolled full-time attending an accredited Ohio college or university. Students must enter a portfolio and furnish a statement discussing their philosophy of photojournalism, current career goals, work experience, and financial need.
