Indianapolis Press Club Scholarships

The Indianapolis Press Club Foundation is an organization created by the Indianapolis Press Club in 1990 to support journalism education in Indiana. Each year, the Foundation awards scholarship grants to undergraduate and graduate college students and provides support to college journalism programs.

This website contains details about each of our scholarship and support programs.

The Foundation raises funds through two major events:

The Last Row Party, a venerable tradition of the Month of May in Indianapolis. The Lat Row Party "honors" the 11th-row qualifiers for the Indianapolis 500-Mile Race with a traditional Hoosier trackside dinner, a roast of the three drivers and silent and live auctions of racing memorabilia and hospitality packages. The event, held the Friday night before the race, attracts racing fans from across the nation.

The 36th Annual Last Row Party was a smashing success!

The Keating Feature Writing Competition, a contest held in the memory of Tom Keating, the late, legendary columnist of The Indianapolis Star. The competition brings top college students to Indianapolis to report and write feature stories on deadlne. The contest weekend is capped by an awards dinner that honors the best writers as well as the winners from the other Foundation scholarship programs.
