The NBCUniversal Media Scholarship Program is intended to assist and encourage outstanding Latino students attending a U.S. post-secondary institution with an interest in the media and entertainment industry. Applicants must be a U. S. Citizen, Legal Permanent Resident, or have legal authorization to work in the U.S. without requiring sponsorship now or in the future. Recipients are required to enroll as a full-time student and maintain a cumulative college grade point average of at least a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or the equivalent to be eligible for the second scholarship disbursement. After completion of the fall semester, recipients must submit a copy of their grade report and enrollment verification for the spring semester to the national office in order to receive the spring check disbursement. Three letters of recommendation, including a complete telephone number and email address for each reference, are required. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
