Nevada Broadcasters Scholarships Aid Next-Gen Journalists – Radio Ink
The Nevada Broadcasters Foundation has awarded thirty full cost-per-credit scholarships to Nevada college students through the Tony and Linda Bonnici Scholarship Fund. This initiative supports broadcasting and journalism students in their educational pursuits.
Since its inception in 2010 by retired broadcasters Tony and Linda Bonnici, the fund has awarded a total of 293 scholarships, distributing more than $300,000 in tuition funding this year alone. Namesakes within the Bonnici Scholarship Fund are Collin Cowherd, Chet Buchanan, Deanne Sheehan, Mike Geary, and Dave and Charli Carter.
The Bonnicis said, “We are proud to be able to help so many impressive and energetic students interested in broadcasting and furthering their education. Seeing the student recipients learn and grow into passionate individuals, achieving their career ambitions, is magical and so fulfilling for us.”
In addition to financial assistance, the Nevada Broadcasters Foundation provides mentoring, internships, and job placement support to help students succeed professionally. The foundation is part of the Nevada Broadcasters Association, continuing to foster the growth of future broadcasting professionals.
NBF Executive Director Eric Bonnici said, “There is nothing more rewarding than seeing the look on a student’s face after they just heard the words ‘you’ve been awarded a scholarship.’ It puts into perspective why we do what we do.”

Both directions of Interstate 80 are being redirected over Donner Summit due to slick roads and multiple spin-outs. Authorities have not provided an estimated time for reopening the highway.
This is a developing story. Please check back with us for updates.
Oregon has found its next Australian punter.
Bailey Ettridge, who averaged 44.66 yards on 47 punts at Nevada this season, committed to transfer to the Ducks on Sunday. He has three seasons of eligibility remaining.
From Lara, Australia, Ettridge had 15 punts over 50 yards and 18 inside opponents’ 20-yard lines this season. He also had two carries for 26 yards, both of which converted fourth downs.
Ettridge replaces James Ferguson-Reynolds, who is averaging 41.64 yards on 33 punts for UO this season. Ferguson-Reynolds and Ross James are both out of eligibility after the season.
Ettridge is the first scholarship transfer to Oregon this offseason and his addition gives the Ducks 81 projected scholarship players in 2026. He is the lone punter presently on the roster.
