The American Copy Editors Society has awarded five students with its 2011-12 scholarships: Joshua Barone, Zachary Aldrich, Matthew Draper, Margaux Henquinet and Arielle Retting.
As the top candidate among the applicants, Barone was named the Aubespin scholar. The scholarship is named for Merv Aubespin, the former Louisville Courier-Journal editor who is considered the “godfather” of ACES. As the Aubespin scholar, Barone receives $2,500. Other winners each receive $1,000.
ACES has now awarded 59 scholarships since 1999.
