New Mexico Broadcasters Association

Washington Broadcast Residency Program

The New Mexico Broadcasters Foundation is sponsoring New Mexico students to participate in a program that provides real-life experience reporting the news from the Capitol. The objective of the program is that by the end of the semester, undergraduates will have a greater understanding of government and how working journalists not only cover the news, but are a crucial component of a democratic system and promote media literacy.

The goal of the program is to continue the mission of the NMBA to broadcast information to New Mexicans while at the same time helping train the people who will be working in the industry tomorrow. More information

High School Scholarships

The New Mexico Broadcasters Association Foundation has teamed up with radio and television stations statewide to offer scholarships to New Mexico high school students.

Each station has criteria to meet within the New Mexico Broadcasters Association guidelines to participate. Once the criteria is met, the station will conduct their own application and judging process, promote the scholarship and provide 2 tickets for the scholarship winner to attend the awards banquet in Albuquerque. The amount of the scholarship will be determined by the participating station. Applications for the scholarships will begin in January.
