Alivia Allen is the 2025 CNS Loren Martin Hintz Travel Writing Scholarship winner.

12/14/2025

We were approached in 2022 by Steve Hintz to honor his late father, Loren Martin Hintz, so together we created the CNS Loren Martin Hintz Travel Writing Scholarship.

What started as a way to honor Loren has become a $1,000 annual scholarship supporting Milwaukee writers who are committed to telling meaningful stories.

Loren was a writer himself, a photographer, and an avid traveler. To give you a fuller understanding of the importance of this scholarship, we created this video.

This testimonial features Loren’s family sharing who he was, what he stood for, and why continuing this scholarship matters so much. Enjoy!

We’re incredibly proud to announce Alivia Allen as the 2025 CNS Loren Martin Hintz Travel Writing Scholarship winner, who received $1,000 to support her continued growth as a writer and storyteller.

Alivia was selected for her thoughtful travel essay that reflects curiosity, intention, and cultural awareness, the very qualities this scholarship was created to honor in memory of the late, award-winning journalist and photographer Loren Martin Hintz. Her work stood out not only for its craft but for the heart behind the story.

This year’s announcement is especially meaningful, as it took place during our first-ever Loren Martin Hintz Travel Writing Scholarship Ceremony & Gala, where over 100 community members gathered to celebrate legacy, storytelling, and the future of journalism. Being able to recognize Alivia in this space, surrounded by supporters, past scholarship recipients, and community leaders, made the moment even more powerful.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing photos and videos highlighting Alivia, moments from the ceremony and gala, and the inaugural Carvd N Stone Award recipients.

There’s so much positivity to come. The next few weeks are going to be fun y’all, so stay tuned!
