KCII-AM/FM in Washington, IA, is a small, locally owned station, just south of Iowa City, that realizes the importance of furthering the industry by helping students pursue a career in broadcasting.
The station will once again be offering two $500 Business and Broadcasting Scholarships to high school seniors in the area who plan to pursue a broadcasting or business career in a two-year program or four-year college or university.
“I think helping any kid to further their passions is something that we want to help with and feed that passion. And if this scholarship can help somebody to pursue a dream of theirs or a career they want to go into, we want to be a part of that and help them to do that,” said Joe Nichols, GM, KCII. “Also, we believe in the broadcasting industry, and hope that’s a passion that somebody else out there has. And who knows, we’ve had a lot of people who have received these from us and come back and been part of our company either with us or one of our sister stations.”
The deadline for applications for the competitive scholarships is May 15.
