NSU senior receives Tulsa Press Club scholarship
NSU Mass Communications associate professor Dana Eversole and John Gyllin, Director of the NSU Foundation, pose with senior Eric Covey, recepient of a $1,000 Tulsa Press Club scholarship.
Eric Covey, a senior at Northeastern State University, was recently announced as the recipient of a $1,000 scholarship from the Tulsa Press Club to continue his mass communications studies.
"In October, students are thinking of many things upcoming festivals, midterms, homecoming, and the impending pressure to successfully turn in financial aid and scholarship applications," Covey said. "I am glad I was diligent in turning in my homework and applications on time, and I am deeply grateful and sincerely thankful for the generous scholarship the Tulsa Press Club has given me.
The scholarship for students majoring in mass communications was a one-time scholarship that Eric will use for the Fall semester.
Covey, a senior at the Tahlequah campus, graduates after the Spring 2010 term. He is a weekly featured writer for The Northeastern campus newspaper and commutes from Bixby three times a week to attend classes.
He said the trip every week is worth it.
As I am approaching the end of the road here at NSU, it is amazing to see the doors that are beginning to open for me, Covey said.
