To Our Fellow Broadcast Managers,

In 2009, we were honored at the Nevada Broadcasters Hall of Fame Gala with the establishment of the Tony & Linda Bonnici Scholarship Fund.

Shortly after, we got to work and put together a great committee to help make this dream a reality. We’re pleased to announce that eligible students may now apply for a Fall 2011 scholarship.

A founding goal of the scholarship is to fund four years of college education for young adults and cultivate their interest in broadcasting – from engineering and technical services; account executives; reporters; producers; accounting/administrative/management; on-air talent; and radio and TV production.

One very cool thing we’re most proud of is the opportunity to build a synergy between Nevada’s current broadcasters and Nevada’s next generation of broadcasters.

This is where we need your help. At some time in the future, we will be reaching out to all broadcasters to ask for your help in providing internships to the selected students. One requirement to fulfilling a scholarship is to complete an internship at a broadcast station.

Also, we want you to encourage your staff, their friends and family and anyone else who meets the eligibility requirements to apply for a scholarship. How great it is that our industry now provides an opportunity to us as broadcasters that we can pass on to our employees and Nevada’s broadcasting students.

You can access the application and more information by clicking here. Please help us spread the word!

Thank you in advance for your dedication to the next generation of Nevada’s broadcasters.

Sincerely,


Linda and Tony Bonnici
