The Minnesota Broadcasters Association's James Wychor Scholarship supports graduating seniors from Minnesota State High School League member schools who plan to continue their education in a broadcast-related field, including mass communications, marketing, broadcast engineering, or video and audio production. Applicants submit a resume, a cover letter addressed to the scholarship committee, and a letter of recommendation from a counselor, teacher, coach, or other professional contact; work samples are optional. No association membership is required to apply, and the school you attend afterward doesn't have to be in Minnesota. Winners are announced each June and honored at the state high school baseball tournament.
