Give today towards the WMSC Excellence in Radio Fund, which provides scholarship and industry conference and training opportunities for WMSC student broadcasters. All gifts to this fund directly support these essential programs, making a real difference in the lives of passionate students pursuing careers in broadcasting, media, and communications. These funds ease financial burdens, allowing talented students to focus on gaining invaluable hands-on experience rather than worrying about tuition costs.

Your donations have already created life-changing opportunities. Thanks to generous contributors to this very fund last year, 6 students attended the CBI National Student Media Convention in Seattle, 52 students participated in the Intercollegiate Broadcasting Conference in March 2025, and 9 students attended the NAB Radio Show and Marconi Awards Dinner—putting them in the same room as industry leaders and station owners, making dream connections come true. Additionally, 3 deserving students received the WMSC Scholarship, easing their financial burden.

When students attend industry conferences and training sessions, they gain cutting-edge knowledge, build professional networks, and develop skills that set them apart in a competitive job market. These opportunities translate into internships, job offers, and successful careers that begin right here at WMSC.

90.3 WMSC FM at Montclair State University continues to prove its excellence in broadcasting, earning an impressive eight College Broadcasters Inc. Awards, 16 Intercollegiate Broadcasting Awards, and another nomination for the prestigious Marconi Award in the College Station of the Year category. These achievements reflect the dedication and talent of our student broadcasters who benefit directly from your generosity.

By supporting this fund, you're not just investing in awards and recognition—you're investing in real students with dreams of transforming the media landscape. Our alumni have gone on to work at major networks, streaming platforms, and production companies, carrying forward the skills they developed at WMSC.

Your gift, regardless of size, creates ripples of opportunity that extend far beyond our studio walls.
