College students with a passion for editing now have a shot at increased scholarships from the American Copy Editors Society (ACES).
The ACES Education Fund has been awarding four $1,000 scholarships annually. Those are now worth $1,500 each, effective immediately.
And, in the same competition, ACES continues to offer a top-prize scholarship of $2,500. In addition, each of the five winners will receive travel and hotel money and free registration to attend ACES’ skill-building national conference, which next year will be in St. Petersburg, Fla., March 23-25.
The application process is not arduous. The deadline is Nov. 15. Details are at the ACES Education Fund scholarship page.
