The Ed Bradley Scholarship is open to sophomores, juniors or seniors who are pursuing careers in radio, television, or digital journalism. One winner per year is chosen to receive a scholarship and an invitation to attend the Excellence in Journalism conference.
The scholarship was established in 1994 by award-winning journalist and correspondent Ed Bradley. Bradley was the first African American White House TV correspondent and was well known for his 26-year career on CBS News’ 60 Minutes. Candidates must have an excellent academic record and be full-time students in good standing.
Students may apply online by completing an application and including work samples, a cover letter, resume, and a letter of recommendation. Applications open in January.
Many applicants who have been chosen to receive the scholarship have established exciting careers as reporters, anchors, speechwriter for the White House, and even comedy writer for Saturday Night Live television show.
The deadline for this scholarship is usually in MAY of each year, and the award amount is usually $10,000.
