Andrea Roe, a Communication and Digital Media major at Neumann University, has been selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia.

She is one of only 20 college students in the Delaware Valley chosen for the 2018 Broadcast Pioneers awards.

The scholarships are given to current college sophomores and juniors (for use in their junior and senior years) who have demonstrated academic excellence and professional potential. To qualify, students must be studying radio, television, film production or associated fields and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

A resident of Glen Mills and graduate of Garnet Valley High School, Roe is executive producer of the Neumann Update (the university’s weekly news show), a Neumann Navigator who provides campus tours for the Admissions Office, and clubs coordinator for the Student Government Association.

“I feel honored and blessed to have been awarded such a prestigious scholarship,” said Roe, “and will continue to passionately further my education in the field of broadcast communication.”

Founded in 1962, Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia is a nonprofit devoted to collecting information about and promoting cultural work related to broadcasting and communications throughout the Delaware Valley.
