Kansas Association of Broadcasters

Kansas Association of Broadcasters supports educational pathways connected to Kansas broadcasting and to families working in member radio and television stations. Its scholarship activity shows an organization rooted in Kansas and focused on students at several stages of postsecondary education, from high school seniors to college students already preparing for broadcast careers. The association’s reach extends across the state while also supporting study in any state when the eligible audience is tied to a Kansas Association of Broadcasters member station.

A clear example is the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Kids Scholarship, which opens on 2/15/2026 and closes on 4/15/2026. That program offers up to $500 to high school seniors who are the children of full-time employees at member radio or television stations and who plan to attend a vocational or technical school, a 2-year community college, or a 4-year college or university. The scholarship allows majors in any field, showing that the association’s support for broadcasting families is not limited to one academic discipline. Selection emphasizes school and community activities, honors, other accomplishments, and a 2-page essay about the student’s experience growing up with a parent in broadcasting, future career plans, related activities, and the most rewarding affiliation or activity.
