Robert J. Lurtsema Scholarship to the Music Personnel Conference

 

Each year the Association of Music Personnel in Public Radio awards a scholarship to the Music Personnel Conference in memory of Robert J. Lurtsema, long-time AMPPR member, Board of Directors member, and advocate of music on public radio, to an applicant who has never before attended a Conference and whose attendance would benefit the individual, the individual's station, and the individual's community. The AMPPR Board of Directors chooses the successful candidate from applications submitted in the fall preceding the conference. The process is competitive; applicants are carefully screened to determine whether they meet the necessary criteria.
