By Morgan Hill, News Writing Student

Color photos on the front page have been a weekly feature of the Pioneer student newspaper this semester, thanks in part to a $1,000 grant from OPUBCO, the publisher of The Oklahoman and NewsOK.com.

Joe Hight, OPUBCO director of information and development, said he initiated the grant because his company appreciates the work done by the college’s journalism students.

Nursing student Kristin Moore was recently awarded a $500 scholarship through Tinker Federal Credit Union based on a video contest.

Moore said she placed third out of 30 contestants.

She found out about the contest through banking online with TFCU.

“It was easy and fun,” Moore said. “People should apply for scholarships and this one seemed a lot more up-to-date.”
