The Nebraska Broadcasters Association (NBA) has awarded a $2,000.00 scholarship to three students with aspirations to work in broadcasting upon graduation:
Jacie Ambrose currently attends Northeast Community College and is transferring to the University of Nebraska – Omaha to pursue a degree in Journalism & Media Communication. Following her anticipated graduation in May of 2027, Jacie plans to build a career as an on-air talent in broadcast radio.
Austin Glanz is pursuing a major in Media Production in Communications at Chadron State College. Following his anticipated graduation in May of 2027, Austin is considering career options including radio host, sports commentator/announcer and voice acting.
Jacqueline Ruiz-Rodriguez is pursuing a dual major in Broadcasting and Journalism at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. Following her anticipated graduation in May of 2027, Jacqueline aspires to become a radio or television news reporter or anchor.
This unique scholarship program is supported by participating NBA member Station Employment Units (SEUs), who fund and promote the program, and then review and score the qualified applications. All SEU scores are then averaged, with the top three scoring applicants each awarded a scholarship.
NBAF Board Chairperson Jessie Johnson, Vice President of News Channel Nebraska Tri-Cities/General Manager – Kearney, said: “These hard-working students represent a broad range of experience, skills and talent that will serve our industry and audiences well in the near future. The new perspectives and innovations of these students will be welcome. On behalf of the NBA Board of Directors, congratulations to each of you!”
The NBA also offers scholarships to assist students enrolled in radio and/or television broadcasting or broadcast journalism educational programs at designated colleges and universities in Nebraska. Over $300,000 in scholarships have been awarded by the NBA and its foundation since the NBA first began a scholarship program in 1977.
