The NBCUniversal Tony Coelho Media Scholarship offers eight scholarships to be used in upcoming the fall semester to incoming and undergraduate students (at any accredited college or university), and graduate students with disabilities who are pursuing careers in media, communications, or entertainment industries that will be enrolled in college or a university during the Fall are eligible.
