Country Radio Broadcasters has started accepting Rusty Walker Scholarship applications for CRS 2024, aimed at recognizing emerging talent in country radio. The scholarship honors the late Rusty Walker, a Country Radio Hall of Fame inductee and former CRB board member, known for his contributions as a programmer, consultant, and mentor within the industry.
Three recipients will be awarded an all-expenses-paid opportunity to attend next year’s Country Radio Seminar, taking place from February 28 to March 1 in Nashville. The selected scholars will also be acknowledged during the event. Eligibility is limited to full-time employees of radio stations who will be first-time attendees of CRS.
Interested candidates must complete an online application on the official CRS website and submit a 500-word essay explaining their qualifications for the scholarship. The application deadline is November 3.
