Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) has opened applications for the Rusty Walker Scholarship, which sends one first-time attendee to Country Radio Seminar (CRS) 2027. The application deadline is Nov. 12.
The scholarship, established in 2012, honors the late Rusty Walker, a former CRS board member, Country Radio Hall of Fame inductee and longtime programmer and consultant. Eligibility is limited to full-time radio station employees who have not previously attended CRS. Applicants must submit an online application along with an essay, capped at 500 words, explaining why they should receive the award.
According to the announcement, the recipient will be recognized during CRS 2027 and will receive full event registration, round-trip airfare to Nashville and hotel accommodations at the Omni Nashville Hotel. CRS 2027 is scheduled for March 17-19 in Nashville.
