The Gordon McLaughlin Scholarship

Named in honor of the father of two Hawkeye alumni – Michael and Erika McLaughlin – this scholarship is available only to a graduating member of the organization. When it was first started, it was one of the few (and perhaps only) such scholarship in the country specifically dedicated to a graduating high school journalist. The McLaughlin family continues to fund this scholarship and over the years have helped dozens of students continue their studies at the college level. Gordon McLaughlin was a tireless advocate for the program who could frequently be found in the Hawkeye newsroom helping out in any way he could, whether that be building our trophy case or feeding kids on deadline, he was an incredible presence. Unfortunately, cancer took Gordon from us far too early and it is his honor that our program is proud to keep his memory alive and active.
