Known for short as BEA, the Broadcast Education Association is a world-wide organization that specializes in fields of broadcasting and electronic media. To encourage prospective students to pursue their dream goals, the BEA is awarding students who are interested in electronic media, radio, broadcasting, media technology, and innovation.
Categories of BEA Scholarships
The BEA Scholarships separate into four different groups, and each group is separated by which program that you are interested in. Electronic media is a general field that compasses many fields, but the scholarship category gets more specific as it goes into fields of radio, broadcast history, media technology, and innovation.
Before I forget, there is one general requirement that applies to all scholarships, and the requirement is that you need to be a student at a BEA Member Institution. This link will lead to the the updated list of colleges with BEA Membership, so double check to make sure that your college is in that list!
