Isabelle Stewart has been named Fox Weather’s (Fox News Media’s FAST weather service), fourth annual scholarship recipient in partnership with Mississippi State University. As part of the scholarship, Fox Weather meteorologist Steve Bender will serve as a mentor to Stewart when she interns with Fox Weather beginning in 2026.
In making the announcement Sharri Berg, Fox Weather president, said: “We are beyond proud to play a role in fostering the next generation of meteorologists. Like Haley Meier, Sadie Morris and Mark Kimoto, Isabelle is a rising star in the STEM field and we are excited to welcome her to America’s Weather Team.”
In receiving the scholarship, Stewart said: “Being chosen as the recipient of the Fox Weather Scholarship is such a dream come true. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be mentored by such wise and inspirational professionals, and I am eager to grow my knowledge of meteorology. This internship is such an honor, and I am so excited for what is to come.”
Stewart is a sophomore at Mississippi State University studying geosciences with a concentration in professional meteorology and an emphasis in broadcast meteorology and a minor in communications. She is a member of Mississippi State University’s Chapter of the National Weather Association and the American Meteorological Society where she was named member of the year in 2024. Stewart has also assisted at NBC affiliate WVTM Birmingham, Ala., studios shadowing chief meteorologist Jason Simpson. In 2023, Stewart graduated from Winfield High School and is from North Fayette, Alabama.
Created in November 2021 as part of a long-term partnership between Fox Weather and Mississippi State to support students pursuing a career in meteorology, the scholarship offers financial aid, mentorship and the opportunity to serve as an intern for Fox Weather. The recipient is preferred to be an undergraduate with a proven academic achievement record of a 3.0 GPA or higher. Inaugural recipient Haley Meier joined Fox Weather as an on-air meteorologist upon graduation in 2023 and last year’s recipient Sadie Morris will serve as an intern summer 2025, working in the network’s New York headquarters with Fox Weather meteorologist Jane Minar serving as her mentor. Mark Kimoto, the second annual scholarship recipient, interned with Fox Weather in the summer of 2024.
