Rusty Walker Scholarship Window Open
• The Country Radio Broadcasters are now accepting applications for the 2023 Rusty Walker Scholarship program, which was created in honor of the late Rusty Walker, a Country Radio Hall of Fame inductee, CRS board member, influential programmer and consultant, and mentor in the music industry. After Walker’s shocking passing in 2012, the scholarship program was developed to continue his legacy of supporting bright, young minds in the business.
Each scholarship package will include complimentary registration, hotel, and airfare for CRS 2023, to be held March 13-15, 2023. Scholars will be publicly recognized at CRS 2023 during CRS Honors, the kick-off to the 3-day event. Each applicant must fill out an online application and submit, in 500 words or less, an explanation as to why they should be considered. The deadline to apply is the end of day on Friday, Nov. 4. Eligible applicants must be full-time radio station employees and first-time CRS attendees.
DMR/Interactive is a supporting partner of this scholarship program for 2023, adding to its existing participation in the CRS Lisa McKay Scholarship program.
