Culpepper Journalism Foundation

The vision of the CJF is to promote excellence in scholastic journalism for students in South Florida. The mission is to provide educational and financial assistance to high school underclassmen so they can attend summer journalism programs at universities. The CJF provides "fellowships" and not scholarships because the winners must return to their high school staffs the next year and be mentors to their classmates.

 Who We Are

​The Culpepper Journalism Foundation (CJF) was established in 1997 to honor Dr. Alyce Culpepper upon her retirement from Broward County Public Schools. She always encouraged students to improve their writing, photography and editing skills by attending summer journalism programs at universities. The Sun-Sentinel matched the initial contributions, and all donations go directly to the students because the Culpepper family pays all other expenses. CJF Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/culpepperjf/
