The uniqueness of the foundation scholarship program is in the criteria. The committee is not basing the scholarship solely on academics or on financial need. While both will be considered -- it will be the personal interview that will determine who will receive a scholarship. As part of the scholarship, students will be required to participate in a station internship program that the scholarship committee will monitor throughout the year.
The committee is now beginning to do extensive statewide outreach as the application marketing begins. Linda Bonnici is President of the Scholarship Committee. Adam Sandler serves as Executive Director for the Foundation. For more information please contact Adam at the NBA office.
