About this scholarship

The Ed Bradley Scholarship was established by Ed Bradley, who is best known for his award-winning work in 26 years on CBS News' 60 Minutes and as the first African American White House TV correspondent. He passed away in 2006. Since then, 20 young, aspiring journalists of color have received the award created by the late CBS News and 60 Minutes correspondent. The recipient of the Ed Bradley Scholarship will receive monetary award and an invitation to the RTDNA conference. Applicants must be students pursuing careers in radio, television, or digital journalism. They must plan on continuing their undergraduate education in the Fall semester to be eligible. This scholarship is open to students of color. Applicants must submit the URL links to 3-5 work samples. Links should be broadcast (television/radio) or online news pieces, and should be uploaded to a host site like YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, etc. Applicants must also submit a cover letter, which discusses the applicant's current and past journalism experience, describes how the applicant intends to use the funds, and discusses the applicant's choice to pursue a career in journalism. Applicants must also submit a letter of recommendation from a professor, advisor or supervisor.
