Rusty Walker Scholarship Window Open
• The Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) announced that applications are now open for the annual Rusty Walker Scholarship Program. Three scholarship recipients will be selected, and will receive complimentary registration, hotel, and airfare for CRS 2024, to be held February 28-March 1, 2024 in Nashville. Scholars chosen through this program will also be recognized during CRS 2024.
The Rusty Walker Scholarship Program was created in tribute to the late Rusty Walker, a distinguished former CRS board member and Country Radio Hall of Fame member who was also an influential programmer, consultant, and mentor in the music industry. Walker’s untimely passing in 2012 left a void that this scholarship program was created to fill, by continuing his legacy of supporting talented young individuals in the industry.
Eligibility for the Rusty Walker Scholarship is limited to full-time radio station employees who will be attending CRS for the first time. To be considered for this opportunity, applicants are required to fill out an online application through the Rusty Walker Scholarship page at CountryRadioSeminar.com and also provide a compelling essay of 500 words or less explaining why they should be considered for the Scholarship. The application deadline is end of the day on Nov. 3, 2023.
DMR/Interactive returns as a supporting partner of this scholarship program, adding to its existing participation in the CRS Lisa McKay Scholarship program.
