KBA High School Senior Scholarship Program

The Kentucky Broadcasters’ Association (KBA) Scholarship Fund is a post secondary partial scholarship program for children of employees of Kentucky radio and television stations.

In 2017 the KBA awarded fourteen (14) scholarship grants of fifteen hundred dollars ($1,500) each to qualified sons and daughters of employees of Kentucky broadcast stations. The scholarship may be used to assist the student in the payment of tuition, fees, books, and room and board.

A scholarship committee will review each application and will award the scholarships based on the following criteria:

  • One of the student’s parents must be either: (a) a full-time employee of a station on the date of the application deadline, or; (b) a part-time employee of a station on the date of the application deadline and has been employed as a part-time employee at the Kentucky station for a period of one year prior to the application deadline.
  • The student must attend full-time a college, university, vocational school, institute of technology, or academy that awards academic degrees or professional certifications.
  • There is no minimum GPA requirement to apply. However, preference will be shown to students who demonstrate good scholastic ability.
  • Extracurricular activities (clubs, athletics, church, community service, part-time employment, etc.) will be considered in evaluating each applicant.

Scholarships are made on an annual basis and are non-renewable
