Our mission for MUJW is to help aspiring high school student journalists in developing an understanding of the importance of diversity in news coverage and in the newsrooms of America. This hands on, interactive workshop is based on teaching the Missouri Method and facilitating growth in all areas of cutting edge, 21st-century journalism.

Please adhere to the application deadline of March 15, 2017. The $25 nonrefundable application fee is due in our office in the form of check or money order no later than 10 days after submission of the application. If selected, your application fee will be applied to the $675 workshop fee. There is financial aid available on a need basis. Be prepared to submit required documents for determination of financial need as well.
