Ed Bradley Scholarship

Description

The Ed Bradley Scholarship was established by Ed Bradley, who is best known for his award-winning work in 26 years on CBS News' 60 Minutes and as the first African American White House TV correspondent. He passed away in 2006. Since then, young, aspiring journalists of color have received the award created by the late CBS News and 60 Minutes correspondent. The recipient of the Ed Bradley Scholarship will receive $10,000 and an invitation to the RTDNA conference. Applicants must be pursuing careers in radio, television, or digital journalism. The winners must plan on continuing their undergraduate education in Fall 2024 to be eligible. Applicants must submit URL links to 3-5 work samples. A letter of recommendation from a professor, advisor, or supervisor must also be submitted. A cover letter discussing your current and past journalism experience, how you will use the funds, and your choice to pursue a career in journalism is also required. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Radio Television Digital News Association for more information.
