The Press Club of Southeast Texas is a 501(c). All monies raised go to benefit the Press Club Memorial Scholarship Award. Scholarships are awarded annually to outstanding Lamar University communication students. A group of 25 representatives of Southeast Texas media joined forces in 1968 to form a regional press club for employees of local newspapers, television and radio stations. Incorporated in 1969, the Press Club of Southeast Texas was modeled after similar clubs in Dallas and Galveston, Texas. It is the area’s first and only press club serving nine counties: Jefferson, Orange, Hardin, Liberty, Chambers, Jasper, Tyler, Polk, and Newton.
