Membership
The S.C. Scholastic Press Association's purpose is to promote responsible
scholastic journalism in South Carolina.
To achieve this goal we educate, evaluate, advocate and empower
students and advisers who work with middle and high school newspapers,
yearbooks, literary magazines and the broadcast programs in the state.
SCSPA has both publication and student memberships. Publications
must be a member to receive critiques or participate in any of the
individual competitions. Students must be members to apply for scholarships.
Publications have two membership options: one year ($40) or three
years ($100). Students have two levels: high school ($20) and middle
school ($10).
The membership year is Sept. 1 to Aug. 31.
