The Chuck Stone Program for Diversity in Education and Media identifies and brings to Carolina's campus 20 talented high school students from diverse backgrounds across the U.S. for an intensive one-week workshop in journalism and mass communication.

It honors the legacy of Professor Chuck Stone and allows students to experience UNC campus life and to become acquainted with the J-school. Six of the 20 students who attended the 2007 inaugural Chuck Stone Program returned during the fall 2008 semester as Tar Heels.

The 2009 program will be held at the UNC School of Journalism and Mass Communication July 19 - 25, 2009. Aspiring high school-aged journalists are encouraged to apply. Priority deadline for application materials is June 1, 2009. 

2009 Program Application

This summer's program is designed for students who will be seniors in the 2009-10 school year and who are interested in a journalism career.
