Are you an aspiring journalist attending a college in North or South Carolina?
The Radio Television Digital News Association of the Carolinas annually awards two $2,000 scholarships in March to currently enrolled rising juniors or seniors who are pursuing a major course of study with an emphasis in broadcast and/or digital journalism. One scholarship will be awarded to a qualified student attending a college or university in North Carolina. Another scholarship will be awarded to a qualified student enrolled in a college or university in South Carolina.
The RTDNAC Board of Directors is proud of all of our previous scholarship winners. A number of them are now working in the professional ranks.
Any interested student who meets the qualifications should note that no formal application form is required.
However, each of these points must be fulfilled for consideration of a student’s application:

Home and school addresses and phone numbers

Any other accomplishments, experiences or information the applicant would like to provide
