The Cardinals and the St. Louis Press Club on Friday announced the creation of the Mike Shannon Scholarship for Sports Broadcast Journalism. The $5,000 scholarship will be awarded annually, beginning this year, to a full-time student pursuing a degree leading to a career in sports journalism, with preference given to students from the St. Louis metropolitan area.
“St. Louis has a rich history of producing some of the most talented sportswriters and broadcasters in the industry and I look forward to helping the next wave of men and women pursue their dreams of a career in sports journalism,” Shannon said in a statement.
