Southeastern Channel news reporter-anchor Raychelle Riley has won the prestigious annual Student Broadcasting Scholarship awarded by the Louisiana Association of Broadcasters, made up of all television and radio professionals in Louisiana. Riley, a reporter-anchor for the nationally award-winning “Northshore News” student newscast, will receive $2,000 per semester for two semesters for a total of $4,000 in scholarship money from the LAB beginning this semester. Riley was selected from among all student broadcasting students in Louisiana. To be eligible for the award, applicants had to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.5 and submit three letters of recommendation along with a written narrative about their vision for a career in broadcasting. Riley will be awarded her scholarship at the LAB Prestige Awards luncheon at the L’Auberge Hotel and Casino in Baton Rouge.
