Communications student receives prestigious Ed Bradley Scholarship
January 12, 2009
College of Fine Arts and Communications student Jennifer Borget was awarded the Radio and Television News Directors Foundation's Ed Bradley scholarship for 2007. The scholarship provides Borget with $10,000 and a trip to the foundation's annual conference and exhibition. "The competition for this scholarship is quite vigorous," says Barbara Cochran, president of the foundation.
The scholarship assists minority students pursuing careers in electronic journalism. It is named for Ed Bradley, long-time correspondent on CBS's 60 Minutes program, winner of 19 Emmy awards, and the first black television correspondent to cover the White House.
Says Borget: "As a student I have had professional reporting experience—I couldn't be where I am today without the generous donations of those who give. Thank you!"
