Winthrop Faulkner Scholarship (for future secondary school journalism teachers)

Winthrop Faulkner, a graduate of the University of Florida and a business executive in the Detroit area from the 1920s to the 1960s, became involved with MSU when his son, James, attended the School of Journalism. James graduated with a BA in Journalism in 1949 and later earned his M.A. in Education from MSU in 1968.
