The next generation of journalists is putting its education to practice here at The Collegian, the Royal Purple and Manhappenin’ magazine. Students from across campus staff our publications’ offices to report and edit the news, to sell and create advertisements, and to learn new media skills.
You can help them succeed. Collegian Media Group awards student scholarships every year, most of which is funded by generous donations from our friends. Our ability to reward our best student staffers, to bring in successful professionals for intensive workshops, and even to upgrade hardware and software is a direct result of your tax-deductible gift.
Like gifts for scholarships, your financial support for our operating budget is tax-deductible. We’re looking to grow in the areas of video journalism and on-line news gathering, both of which require electronic equipment we’ve never had to purchase before. In addition, your donations and support can be used to upgrade our photography equipment, news and sports travel coverage in the Big 12, and other student-focused initiatives for our three award-winning publications.
If you want to support Collegian Media Group through scholarships, travel coverage, equipment or other student initiatives for the 2025-2026 school year, contact Collegian Media Group Director Spencer O’Daniel at sodaniel@collegianmedia.com. We would love to have you come by campus for a coffee, meet our students of Collegian Media Group and learn more about how we want to grow as a student media outlet and our approach to coverage and storytelling moving forward.
The newspaper, yearbook and magazine are part of Collegian Media Group, a private business that receives no funding from the A.Q. Miller School of Journalism and Mass Communication. A portion of its income comes from student fees, but our student sales staff brings in the majority of our revenue.
If your employer offers matching gifts, please ask to have yours matched. We would be glad to visit with you about including Collegian Media Group in your estate plans.
Collegian Media Group is a 501(c)3 nonprofit under the IRS Code. All gifts are tax-deductible to the fullest extent provided by law.
