CRB/CRS Now Accepting Apps for Rusty Walker Scholarships


Country Radio Seminar
Country Radio Seminar

Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) is now accepting applications for the Rusty Walker Scholarship program. Each year, through the 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 networking event.

Country's Radio Coach Owner/CEO and CRB Scholarship Chairman John Shomby commented, "We continue to strive to attract talented, young broadcasters to the seminar, especially in the name of Rusty Walker, who, for years, cultivated some of the best young talent in our industry. The scholarship provides some unique opportunities to network with some of the best in the business and begin some long-lasting mentoring relationships. Once again, I thank the CRB Board of Directors for their continued overwhelming support of this honor."

Each scholarship includes a full CRS 2022 registration, as well as airfare and accommodations for three nights (Wednesday, February 23, 2022 through Friday, February 25, 2022). Interested parties must apply here and submit a paragraph explaining why they should be considered as a Rusty Walker Scholar. The deadline to apply is November 5, 2021

Eligible applicants must be full-time radio station employees and first-time CRS attendees. Three individual scholarships will be awarded, and recognized at the CRS 2022 Openings 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.
