Description

In 2017, Rhode Island PBS established the Rhode Island PBS Scholarship. The scholarship offers awards to residents of the station's demographic market area who demonstrate promise of a successful career in the fields of broadcasting, communications, and/or journalism. Applicants must be a graduating high school senior planning to attend an accredited 4-year post-secondary institution, or must be currently enrolled in an accredited 4-year post-secondary institution. Applicants will be asked to provide a recommendation letter from a teacher or professional who can attest to the applicant's merit towards a successful career in the noted fields. Past recipients are eligible to reapply as the scholarship is renewable for an additional three years. Current employees of Rhode Island-PBS and their children and other immediate family members are not eligible to apply. Please visit the scholarship's website or contact the Rhode Island Foundation for more information.
