Character Counts! High School Scholarship

The New Mexico Broadcasters Association Foundation has teamed up with Character Counts! New Mexico for the “Pete Domenici Character Counts Scholarship Program”. This program works with radio and television stations statewide to offer Character Counts scholarships to New Mexico students.

Stations across the state conduct an application and judging process and promote the scholarship. The amount of the scholarship will be determined by the participating station. Applications for the scholarships begin in January and are usually due the first week of April.
