Lisa McKay Scholarship Deadline!
• Just a gentle reminder that this Friday, Sept. 17, marks the deadline to apply for the CRB Lisa McKay Women in Radio Scholarship program.
Created in honor of the late Lisa McKay, who successfully programmed WQDR/Raleigh for 16 years and was inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame in 2018, the Lisa McKay Women in Radio Scholarship program will award three aspiring female radio programmers the opportunity to attend their first-ever CRS. Each scholarship package will include complimentary registration, hotel, and airfare for CRS 2022, which will be held February 23-25, 2022. These scholars will also be publicly recognized during CRS Honors, the kickoff to the three-day event.
Each applicant must fill out an online application and submit, in 500 words or less, a brief essay on why she should be considered. Eligible applicants must be either a female college senior broadcast communications student involved in radio programming or a female with 1-3 years radio experience as a Program Director, APD or MD. This individual must also be a first-time CRS attendee.
Recognizing McKay as a fierce advocate for young female radio pros, the CRB Board, at the suggestion of Broken Bow VP of Promotion Lee Adams, has established this new scholarship program which serves to advance younger females pursuing leadership roles in radio programming. Recipients will access the educational, networking, and mentoring opportunities CRS provides, with entry to see the most established, respected names in our format.
