From its founding in 1942, the Fort Worth Professional Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists has assisted young journalists in their pursuit of an education. In the beginning, the lively and irreverent Texas Gridiron Show skewered political high society while pocketing cash that would be converted to textbooks and tuition. Now two endowments generate funds for the chapter’s Texas Gridiron Scholarships and Lina Davis Scholarships, with additional revenue coming from the annual banquet and from ad sales in the eChaser, the monthly electronic newsletter of the Fort Worth chapters of SPJ, the Public Relations Society of America and the International Association of Business Communicators.
