The Valley Press Club is deeply grateful to The Republican and MassLive for their support through the Republican Scholarship (for the past four decades) and MassLive Scholarship (launched in 2023).

Mr. Albert M. Jaffe, retired senior vice president for talent negotiation and production recruitment at ESPN, and recipient of the Valley Press Club’s first scholarship in 1964, attended the scholarship event for many years and generously presented a scholarship in gratitude of his successful career. Thank you!
