The Broadcast Education Association (BEA) is the premier international academic media organization, promoting insights, excellence in media production, and career advancement for educators, students, and professionals.  BEA administers scholarships annually, to honor broadcasters and the entire electronic media profession.  Scholarships are awarded to students that will be juniors, seniors and/or graduate students at BEA member institutions in the 2025-26 academic year  – unless otherwise noted in the descriptions listed below. All selected scholarship recipients also receive complimentary membership to BEA’s Honor Society, AERho.

Note: The BEA Founders Awards are for students enrolled in a BEA 2-Year member institution or graduates of 2-Year schools now enrolled in a BEA 4-Year institution.

Before you begin the application you must create a profile with BEA.  All full-time undergraduate students attending BEA institutional members receive complimentary membership.  If you need a complimentary code, please see your faculty advisor or email help@BEAweb.org to receive the complimentary code.  If you are applying as a graduate student, please email help@BEAweb.org to see if your school has graduate membership included in their membership package. BEA membership carries substantial benefits but is NOT required to apply for a BEA scholarship.

Scholarship recipients will be announced in late November, and the money will be awarded in the summer of 2025, to be applied to the 2025-2026 academic year.
