Is YoL so u * SCHOOL * JEWELR3 SPORTSR SODA FO 1 age Three Scholarships Being Offered In Radio Field In celebration of its fifteenth anniversary, the National Academy of Broadcasting in Washington, D. C., is offering several valuable scholarships to script writers in a contest which will close Febru ary 1. The grand prize will be a full semester (16 weeks) of profession al training in the residence school in Washington. This scholarship will cover all phases of broadcast ing studio work, including script and continuity writing, diction, foreign language pronunciation, music appreciation, radio drama, control-board operation, program building and direction. Other prizes will consist of residence courses in announcing, continuity writing or production and a basic course offered by correspondence. Awards will be made by qualified judges on the merits of scripts sub mitted. Any type of original con tinuity, commercial or dramatic, will be accepted. "The demand for traih.ed person nel in radio is growing so rapidly," says Miss Alice Keith, president of the broadcasting academy and author of the textbook, How to Speak and Write for Radio, "that we are unable to fill all the re quests for qualified announcers and writers sent us by stations throughout the country. In the class that was graduated in Sep tember practically all were placed in stations within two weeks after commencement." "Trained script writers who are able to announce, produce or do public relations work are in spec ial demand. College women inter ested in conducting broadcasts for women and children or in direct ing programs, are needed every where, General radio training for both men and women is most valu able as broadcasters are often called on to double in various branches. Specialized training points out the way to make use of varying talents." Any studeWg interested is in vited to write directly to the Na tional Academy of Broadcasting, 3338 16th Street, N. W., Washing ton 10, D. C.
