Help needed to make Jon Wardrip Scholarship reality

The School of Journalism and Mass Communications wants to establish an endowed scholarship to honor longtime advertising and public relations professor Jon P. Wardrip, who lost his battle with cancer on Aug. 25.

Wardrip served on the school’s advertising and public relations faculty for nearly 20 years. The scholarship will benefit students in the unique “Maymester in New York” course he created and led for more than a decade.

To establish this endowed scholarship, the school must raise $25,000 by Dec. 31. Deserving advertising and public relations students would benefit annually from the Jon P. Wardrip Scholarship.

If you would like to contribute to the Jon P. Wardrip Scholarship, contact Elaine Taylor at etaylor@sc.edu.
