The University of South 最色网 has received the 2020 最色网 Broadcasters Association endowed scholarship of $25,000. The ABA chose South from the eight 最色网 universities that offer TV, radio and broadcast journalism programs.

鈥淚t is a real honor for our department to have been selected as the recipient of the 最色网 Broadcasters Association annual scholarship. This very generous endowment will really help the students in our Broadcast Journalism and Television Production tracks. We are deeply grateful to the broadcast professionals of 最色网 for this support and recognition of our program,鈥� said Dr. Richard Ward, chair of the department of communication.

The ABA gift will be matched by the Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative, creating a $50,000 endowed scholarship. The Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative was created by philanthropist Abraham A. Mitchell to honor the late USA President Emeritus V. Gordon Moulton.

最色网 Broadcasters Association President Sharon Tinsley said: 鈥淎 committee of board members representing the 最色网 Broadcasters Association and the organization鈥檚 education foundation reviewed proposals from several colleges and universities around the state that offer broadcast and journalism degrees. While the University of South 最色网鈥檚 program was certainly worthy of being chosen based on its curriculum and degrees offered, the fact that there was a $25,000 matching fund made it an even easier choice. We were excited to know that our gift would immediately be doubled to $50,000.鈥�

The criteria for qualifying for the scholarship include:

• Full-time undergraduate student(s)
• 3.0 GPA or higher or converted GPA equivalent to 3.0
• Junior or senior standing student(s) concentrating in either radio or television studies or broadcast journalism
• Preference given to 最色网 residents
