The Jeannine Gregory Memorial Scholarship

The Jeannine Gregory Scholarship in Public Relations Leadership was
developed in honor of former Wayne State University student and past
PRSSA president, Jeannine Gregory. Ms. Gregory was a first year law
student at Pepperdine University in California, when she was tragically
killed by a drunk driver on December 9, 1997. An award of $1,000 will
be given to the student who has demonstrated leadership abilities in the
area of public relations, a quality that Jeannine exemplified. The recipient

University Chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America.
A committee composed of Wayne State University faculty and public relations
professionals will select the recipient of this scholarship.
