The Alliance for Women Media Foundation is now announcing a range of scholarships including “Celebrate the Past, Support the Future,” “NCTA & AWMF Scholarship,” “Ford Emerging Voices Scholarship, for students. These scholarships are a way to support women in media all across the nation. The eligibility requirements vary from one scholarship to another.
Scholarships are extremely useful to students who have financial problems restraining them from taking the course they want. Moreover, these awards decrease the number and amount of loans students need to take to complete higher education. It is a well-known fact that students accumulate huge loan debts by the time they graduate, and scholarships can help reduce this burden. Also, a scholarship can add to state and federal financial assistance. Lots of students do not qualify for federal aid, so these scholarships can act as a replacement since states and colleges have become increasingly focused on getting high-income, high-achieving students to attend their institutions or to remain in-state. Additionally, scholarships can fill the income level gap among students.
The Alliance for Women in Media Foundation is an organization by the women, for the women. They believe that behind every great woman, there is a great organization, and they are committed to supporting women across all media segments so that they can expand networks, educate and celebrate accomplishments. The Alliance for Women in Media’s purpose is to bring talented, established, dedicated, and up-and-coming women in media together through recognition events and professional development. Their members benefit from shared ideas and experiences while receiving access to professional training and acknowledgment. Their mission is to connect, recognize and inspire all women across the media industry, and they have been doing the same for six decades.
