WRKF Scholarship in Broadcast Journalism

The WRKF Scholarship in Broadcast Journalism Fund was established in April of 1993 by WRKF through the Baton Rouge Area Foundation to promote the study of broadcast journalism at Louisiana State University and Southern University.

The purpose of the Fund is to provide scholarships to full-time college students who are majoring in Mass Communications/Broadcasting at either Louisiana State University or Southern University. Students meeting the criteria will be awarded a scholarship to be used toward the following, in order of priority, tuition and fees, room and board, books and supplies, and commuting expenses. The recipients are to be selected by a Scholarship Advisory Committee. Each student selected to receive the WRKF Scholarship in Broadcast Journalism will receive a one-time scholarship for $1,000.

In making its decision, the Scholarship Advisory Committee will use the following criteria:
- All candidates must have earned at least 60 hours minimum, 90 hours maximum credit toward a communications/broadcast degree
- All candidates must be full-time students (enrolled in 12 or more semester hours)
- Financial need
- Scholarship ability (including, but not limited to, a minimum of a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or higher)
