Dear Bayliss Scholarship Applicant:
Industry friends established The John Bayliss Broadcast Foundation in
1985 to perpetuate the memory of radio executive John Bayliss and his
many contributions to the radio business. The underlying theme of the
Foundation is the development of young talent for the radio industry
so the broadcasting principles John Bayliss stood for live on in his name.
The Bayliss Foundation
has been distributing scholarships to outstanding college broadcast
students for over 23 years. In 2005, the Bayliss Foundation began
a partnership with top communications schools nationwide in an
effort to bring a strong radio presence to college campuses.
