The

of Professor Patricia Orman. The scholarship is intended

and who maintains a GPA of 3.0 or higher.
The
KOAA-TV scholarship is made possible by a gift from
KOAA-TV, the NBC affiliate for Southern and Western Colorado.
The scholarship is given to the junior or senior level student
who shows promise for a career in television broadcasting.
The
Osnowitz scholarship was established to honor the

USC who lost his life while documenting the flood of 1965.

former owner of the Pueblo Chieftain, Star Journal. The
Dorthory Hoag Rawlings scholarship is for an Hispanic

The
Ullmann scholarship was initially established by
Joseph Ullmann in honor of his late wife Virginia. When
Mr. Ullmann passed away in 1998, another gift was given
to the department to assist students studying Mass Communications.
Typically one or two Ullmann scholarships are reserved for
outstanding High School seniors who have applied to CSU-Pueblo
and who have declared MCCNM as their intended major. A portfolio
of your recent work should accompany your scholarship application.
The
Pavlik scholarship is named in honor of the department's
