The Pennsylvania Association of Broadcasters has committed $41,000 toward scholarships and on-campus events at Point Park University. The scholarships prioritize first-year students with demonstrated financial need in the Rowland School of Business and the School of Communication who have an interest in radio or TV broadcast media.

Sixteen students will receive $2,000 each – eight for the Fall 2021 semester and eight more for Fall 2022.
