The BEA Peter B. Orlik Award is a scholarship program sponsored by the Broadcast Education Association (BEA) in memory of Peter B. Orlik, a former broadcast professor and a strong supporter of student involvement in BEA. The scholarship is awarded annually to undergraduate or graduate students who are members of a BEA student chapter and show exceptional potential in the field of electronic media. The award amount varies from year to year and depends on the availability of funds.
The selection process for the scholarship is highly competitive and includes an application, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. Recipients of the BEA Peter B. Orlik Award are recognized at the BEA Annual Convention and receive a cash prize to be used for educational expenses.
The BEA student chapter program provides opportunities for students to network with professionals in the field, participate in hands-on learning experiences, and develop leadership skills.
