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 complete the online form below. 

2012 deadline is Friday, December 9, 2011.

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.
