The George Foreman Tribute to Lyndon B. Johnson Scholarship is awarded to a student from the University of Texas at Austin. The recipient will receive $6,000 and an invitation to the Excellence in Journalism conference. Applicants must be incoming sophomores, juniors or seniors at the time the scholarship is awarded, pursuing careers in radio, television, or digital journalism (majoring in these studies is not required, however).
Since 1970, the RTDNA Foundation has awarded more than $1 million in scholarships and fellowships to more than 500 young journalists as part of its mission as the educational arm of RTDNA. Scholarships are open to college students pursuing careers in radio, television, or digital journalism. Scholarship winners are also asked to attend the RTDNA conference free of charge and with travel support.
