SCBA Educational Foundation Awards 2024-2025 Academic Scholarships to South Carolina Colleges and Technical Schools

The SCBA Educational Foundation, established in 1982, provides grants, scholarships and endowments for South Carolina colleges, technical colleges and universities that offer a curriculum in multi-media journalism and other broadcast related courses of study. The Foundation established an endowment in 2004 with a one-million-dollar target and in 2008 reached that goal. The scholarship program will continue in perpetuity, providing educational funding for the next generation of broadcasters for years to come.

The schools receiving scholarships for the 2024-2025 academic year are: Bob Jones University, Claflin University, Clemson University, Francis Marion University, Furman University, North Greenville University, Tri-County Technical College, Trident Technical College, University of South Carolina and Winthrop University.

Each year, the SCBA Educational Foundation accepts proposals for funding from colleges and universities in South Carolina which offer broadcast or communications training. Funding is not provided for capital items or internships. Funds are distributed in May of the following year.
