The Bill Austin Memorial Scholarship was established by Clear Channel Radio and Digital Media in honor of the late broadcast personality Bill Austin (1954-2010), who served for nearly 20 years as the much-beloved co-host of KEZ 99.9's top-rated morning program, The Beth & Bill Show. The Bill Austin Memorial Scholarship supports students at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Impact of donor support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
