PURPOSEThe Jane A. Eck Scholarship Award honors the legacy of Jane A. Eck, an esteemed graduate of the University of Rochester with a degree in Psychology and a trailblazing career in journalism while being dedicated to family and her faith.
Established in recognition of her remarkable achievements during an era (1954) when the fields of journalism and psychology were predominantly male-dominated, this scholarship aims to empower and support the next generation of female scholars. It is awarded annually to a deserving female STEER High School graduate who aspires to further her education in journalism, psychology, social work, or a related field, embodying Jane's spirit of determination, excellence, and commitment to breaking barriers. |
