Virginias AP Broadcasters Scholarship

The Virginias Associated Press Broadcasters, the association of AP member television and radio stations across Virginia and West Virginia, awards annual scholarships to students pursuing degrees in broadcast journalism. The association offers two $2,000 scholarships, one to a student at a Virginia school and one to a student at a West Virginia school (the 2026 cycle awarded $1,000).

Applicants must be enrolled in undergraduate or graduate studies at a college or university in Virginia or West Virginia at the time of the application deadline, and the recipient must be able to attend the VAPB Awards Luncheon as the association's guest.

The application requires a completed form, resume and an essay of at least 200 words on why the student wants the scholarship, with finalists interviewed virtually. The 2026 deadline was January 25; 2027 applications open in December.
