Jimmie & Suey Fong Yee Grants

The AAJA Sports Task Force awards two $2,000 grants to students or recent graduates who are pursuing careers in sports journalism. The scholarship is intended to financially support the recipients’ registration, travel and lodging costs for AAJA’s 2025 National Convention from July 30 – August 3 in Seattle, Washington. 

Applicants will be selected on the basis of their demonstrated journalistic ability, financial need, strong commitment to the pursuit of a sports journalism career and dedication to AAJA’s mission.

The scholarships are made possible thanks to a donation made by Don Yee (of sports talent agency Yee & Dubin Sports, LLC.). 

The Asian American Journalists Association’s Sports Task Force is pleased to offer several scholarship and fellowship opportunities for enrolled college students and young professionals to support their pursuit of careers in sports journalism and media. The selected fellowship winners must commit to a minimum of five hours of volunteer work for the AAJA Sports Task Force.

The AAJA Sports Task Force elevates the voices of Asian Americans in sports and encourages future Asian American sports journalists through mentorship and scholarship opportunities.
