Scholarship worth up to $4,000 and honors outstanding college students pursuing a career in public relations. . This scholarship was established in 1992 in memory of Horace and Susie Revels Cayton. At the turn of the century, the Revels were editors of a popular political newspaper, The Seattle Republican. In later life, after publishing Cayton's Weekly, the couple turned their publishing expertise into a public relations business and were likely Seattle's first minority public relations practitioners. Each year the chapter seeks to recognize a minority student from Washington who demonstrates academic achievement, a desire to practice public relations and financial need.
