CRB/CRS Now Accepting Applications for Rusty Walker Scholarships

Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) is now accepting applications for the Rusty Walker Scholarship program, which will provide travel, accommodations, and complimentary registration to attend Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2020, set for Feb. 19-21, 2020. Individuals that are interested in applying must do so by the end of the day on Oct. 31, 2019.

Each year, through the Rusty Walker Scholarship program, Country Radio Seminar gives complimentary registration to three driven radio employees who have never had the opportunity to attend the 3-day educational and networking event.

CRB/CRS Board President, Kurt Johnson, comments, “Education is central to the mission of CRS and was such an important thing for the scholarship’s namesake. Every year these scholarships help aspiring industry professionals advance their future, and that’s good for all of us.”

Interested parties can apply now at www.countryradioseminar.com/rusty-walker-scholarship. Each applicant must fill out an online application and submit a paragraph explaining why he/she should be considered as a Rusty Walker Scholar. Eligible applicants must be a full-time radio station employee and a first time CRS attendee. Three individual scholarships will be awarded.

Each scholarship includes a full CRS 2020 registration, as well as airfare and hotel room expenses for three nights (Wednesday, Feb. 19, 2020 – Friday, Feb. 21, 2020). Scholars will be recognized at the CRS 2020 Opening Ceremonies.

The Rusty Walker Scholarship program is named in honor of Country Radio Hall of Fame member Rusty Walker, who passed away in May 2012 at the age of 59.

Country Radio Seminar is the premier educational and networking event for Country radio and music industry professionals, offering attendees access to informative panels, countless networking opportunities, prominent speakers, research presentations and intimate performances from some of today’s biggest stars and emerging artists.
