MBA Student Broadcaster Scholarship Program

Since February of 2003, stations have been invited to take part in the Massachusetts Broadcasters Association Student Broadcaster Scholarship Program. A statewide station/association-funded program, the Student Broadcaster Scholarship Program awards qualified students with a $2,000 scholarship toward pursuing a degree in over-the-air broadcasting. The purpose of the program is two-fold in that it supports future broadcast generations, as well as provides stations with a reputable program to partner with to earn EEO credit.

In order to receive one full EEO credit for participating in the MBA Student Broadcaster Scholarship Program, a participating Massachusetts

Nonexempt radio or television station will be required to:

1) Donate a prescribed amount of money to the MBA Student Broadcaster Scholarship Program.

2) Help promote the Program via radio/television public service announcements, station web sites, in-house bulletin boards, etc.

3) Disseminate and collect completed Scholarship Program Applications.

4) Participate in the evaluation process.

Letters with the prescribed dollar amount per Station Employment Unit (SEU) will be sent to every General Manager in Massachusetts each January for participation in that year’s program.
