The NCRF Gina Battaglia Memorial Student Intern Scholarship is intended to help an NCRA student member who has been an intern in the past 12 months. Two awards of $2,000 each are available to provide additional resources for students during their court reporting education. The deadline to apply is Feb. 28.
This scholarship was created by NCRF Trustees and Angel Gatherers Committee members to honor the memory of Gina Battaglia, daughter of Foundation Angel Stephanie Zeder Battaglia, RMR, CRR, a freelance court reporter from Hinsdale, Ill. Friends, colleagues, and other NCRA supporters have donated generously to help fund this campaign.
Applicants must be nominated by their court reporting programs and must also submit a letter of recommendation and an essay. Judicial, CART, and captioning students are encouraged to apply. Visit the scholarship page for full eligibility and submission details.
The 2024 winners of the scholarship were Jessica Allen-Koontz of Los Angeles, Calif., and Angie Podge, RSR, of Kansas City, Mo.
“This scholarship will be a great help as I finish my court reporting journey in school and start my journey as a working court reporter,” said Allen-Koontz, a student at College of Court Reporting in Valparaiso, Ind.
Sharing her enthusiasm and her appreciation of this award, Podge, who has graduated, said, “This award reminds me that the supportive court reporting community is rooting for me to succeed.”
