Maine Media Women's 2004 Scholarship has been awarded to high school senior Kathleen Ross of Deering High School in Portland, for her leadership in media and the 'Blunt Youth Radio Project' she has been working on since freshman year.

This year Maine Media Women presented a $700 scholarship.

The 2004 President's Award was given to author Tabitha King by out-going MMW president Ria Biley, for a combination of literary and philanthropic excellence. Accepting for King was her sister Stephanie Leonard, (right) who addressed the conference eloquently on King's behalf.

A new award was given for the first time at this year's conference: the KVA Scholarship, in memory of Karen Van Allsberg, a MMW member who passed away in recent years. The award of $1500, which honors Karen's love of photography, went to Natalie Hyde of North Carolina, who will be attending a portraiture course at the Maine Photographic Workshop in June.
