RAB (RAB.com) and the BEA are proud to provide the RAB Student Scholars Program for college undergraduate and graduate students to attend the BEA Annual Convention and NAB Show conventions. The program offers students an opportunity to meet with top executives in the radio industry.

This year we are pleased to announce that RAB will offer up to 100 students a package that includes:

– A complimentary registration to attend BEA2026 and NAB Show in Las Vegas April 17-21 (the code will be sent after the application is approved)
– A $125 Amex gift card in travel support that will be provided to the scholars at the annual convention. 

Students will be accepted on rolling admission.  We will stop accepting applications when all slots have been filled, so be sure to apply early! All travel arrangements (hotel, flight, ground transportation, meals, etc.) must be handled by the individual. 

Students will have the opportunity to attend sessions/tours at both conventions and meet with top media executives during “Mentor Match-ups.”  In addition to the mix of content creation, podcasting, management, programming, sales and marketing, advertising and research sessions, RAB Student Scholars will have the chance to participate in programs specially designed for students and recent graduates. Job seekers will have the opportunity to meet with major industry recruiters during the annual Career Day on Monday, April 20.
