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.
