2023 Spring Scholarship Winners!
Each year the Indiana Broadcasters Association awards $5,000 scholarships to ten deserving broadcasting students attending an Indiana college or university. A large portion comes from donations from our members. Donating to the IBA scholarship is not only a good way to earn EEO credit, but invests in the future of the broadcasting business. Thank you to all who donated in 2023!

Why It Matters
“This scholarship is so meaningful and helps give me peace of mind. I will now be able to worry less about how I will afford my college education. Broadcasting is my passion and I am so honored to receive a scholarship to help me in my journey. I am excited for my future in radio and television and this scholarship will help that future to become a reality.”
“This award will be a major part of my evolving broadcasting story. It will help fuel my ambitions as I aspire to be a professional sports broadcaster.”
“This IBA Scholarship allows me to put my sole focus on my education, cultivating career experiences, and setting myself up for a future in broadcasting rather than worrying about paying for college, for which I am extremely grateful.”
“Being an international student away from home and my parents has been difficult in many aspects, but winning this scholarship will help me financially to become more independent to focus on broadcasting opportunities in the field, without worrying about my parents or school debts.”
“The IBA scholarship is not only going to financially help me pursue my career in broadcasting, but also open opportunities through broadcast that will develop my future in the industry.”
“The IBA scholarship is instrumental to keeping me on campus as a residential student, which will allow me to remain closer to my work as a broadcaster, making me available to the communications program at a much higher rate.”
“The IBA Scholarship helps me to remove the financial obstacle of college, allowing me to focus on my work and pursue my broadcasting career.”
“Not only is this scholarship a huge asset when it comes to making college more affordable, it also provides me with the confidence to continue on and push myself in this industry!”
“This scholarship alleviates a huge part of my student loan debts so I will be able to graduate and really just focus on the career I’ve worked so hard for rather than worrying about paying off loans.”
“Winning the IBA scholarship will help my career by giving me more flexibility and opportunities because it is great to show on a resume. I’m so incredibly blessed to have won such a renowned award!”
