Cameron University radio-TV major receives
national scholarship from broadcasting group
A Cameron University radio/television student has been awarded a scholarship from the Broadcast
Education Association (BEA).
Lisa Eddy, junior radio-television major from the Caribbean island of St. Kitts, was awarded the Helen
Sioussat/Fay Wells scholarship in the amount of $1,250 for the 2005-2006 academic year.
The scholarship represents one of only 15 such awards given nationwide by the BEA. Eddy’s honor is also
the first time a CU student has been awarded a BEA scholarship since the inception of Cameron’s
radio/television degree concentration in 1985.
“Lisa is an outstanding representative for the radio/television area here at Cameron,” said Stephen Adams,
an assistant professor of communications. “This type of national recognition rewards the hard work she
has put into her studies and her work in our department.”
Eddy will be officially presented the scholarship award during the BEA’s annual conference April 21-23 in
Las Vegas.
