Do you know a student who could use assistance with educational expenses? The Wisconsin Broadcasters Association Foundation is extending it’s scholarship competition by one week.

The WBA Foundation offers two $2,000 scholarships and two $1,000 scholarships. Students who meet eligibility requirements are encouraged to apply for these scholarships.

Previous WBA scholarship winners are not eligible.

The deadline for application is Friday, October 19, 2018, and all applications must be received by the WBA office by this date.

The WBA Education Committee, and the stations that utilize the scholarship menu option for EEO credit, will screen all scholarship applications. The final determinations for scholarships will be made by a vote of the WBA Foundation Board of Directors. The two highest ranked applicants by the WBA Foundation Board will receive the $2,000 scholarships and the next two highest ranked will receive $1,000 scholarships.

The scholarships will be awarded at the WBA’s Student Seminar, Saturday, March 2, 2018 at the Madison Marriott West.
