DENTON — Texas Woman's University student Kimberly Gay of
Denton recently was awarded the top scholarship from the Press
Club of Dallas Foundation — a $2,000 scholarship in the name
of the Dallas Times Herald.
Gay, a senior mass communications major at TWU, also is a
candidate for the organization's Katie Awards, which award
excellence in journalism in a five-state area. The Press Club's
annual scholarship banquet will be held in November.
Gay's essay, titled, “My Journey,” spoke of her goal
to become a university journalism professor while also working as
a news reporter.
Gay writes for the TWU student newspaper, The Lasso,
and is the newsletter editor for the TWU chapter of the Golden
Key International Honour Society. She has been named to the
National Dean's List each semester since 1999.
Gay, a 1988 graduate of Denton High School, is the daughter of
John and Bobbie Gay of Denton.
The Press Club of Dallas promotes professional journalism and
related fields through education, social and charitable
initiatives. The Press Club Foundation is a non-profit
corporation whose purpose is to raise funds for journalism
scholarships.
