FOR INTERESTED STATIONS:

MABF Offers Stations Assistance in Meeting EEO Requirements!

With the growing concern surrounding the FCC's EEO Rules, the MAB Foundation has created a great
 opportunity to assist MAB member stations in meeting these requirements. The following is a brief
description of an exciting new program that will give your station an easy and affordable avenue to
gain possible option A points and encourage the future of the broadcast work force at the same time.

How the MAB Foundation Station Scholarship Program Works

The MAB Foundation Station Scholarship Program is designed to allow individual member stations an opportunity to support one qualified college student interested in broadcasting as a career through
an educational scholarship.

The station would choose the scholarship winner among pre-qualified candidates and the station may
also qualify for EEO credit through their participation. The MAB Foundation will act as the coordinator
by helping to match stations with students from participating schools.

The cost to participate in this program is $1,250 per student, per year. $1,000 will go to the student
and $250 will go to the MAB Foundation for administrative charges. Stations may participate in more
than one scholarship. This scholarship is given once a year.

We hope you will take advantage of this program offered by the MAB Foundation as it is available to
you to assist your station in the new EEO requirements as well as to help preserve and advance the
broadcast industry in Michigan.

Please feel free to contact MAB Foundation Executive Vice President Julie Sochay or via phone at 517.484.7444 with any questions. 

To sign up for this annual program, simply email Julie Sochay. 

For more information on the FCC EEO rules and other resources to help your station meet the
requirements, visit the Member's Only section of the MAB website.
