If you are a student considering a career in editing, or you know someone who is, be advised that the deadline is November 15 for submitting applications for a scholarship from the American Copy Editors Society Education Fund. Students who will be juniors, seniors and graduate students in the fall are eligible, as are recent graduates who are taking copy-editing jobs or internships. Here is a link.

One of the things of which ACES can be proudest in its 11-year history is the establishment of a series of scholarships to assist students attempting to master our obscure craft. There is a future for editing, and the bright, able and energetic students who will make that future deserve encouragement and recognition.

If you do not happen to be a student but want to foster the careers of those who are, your contribution — it is tax-deductible — to the Education Fund is always welcome. Here is a link to the donation form.
