 Supplemental Outreach Initiatives and Activities

A:  Chirillo Electronics, Inc. participated in a scholarship program in conjunction with the International Broadcasters Idea Bank and SESAC which awarded a $7500.00 scholarship award to a college student attending a U.S. College or University who is seeking a degree in Broadcast-Related programs.  Some of the programs included degrees in Mass Media, Communication, Journalism, Advertising or Music.   

B.  Chirillo Electronics, Inc. also participates in the Missouri Broadcasters Association Foundation Internship Program.  Selected applicants receive $250.00 for each credit hour, up to a maximum of $1000.00.  We assist the MBA Foundation by promoting the program, distribute brochures and applications, collect submitted applications,  participate in the selection process and provide the applicant with a letter of acceptance to be submitted to the MBA Scholarship/Internship Committee.  This is a year-around program, however, final recipients are selected three times only, each year.

C:  Chirillo Electronics, Inc. has an ongoing program which allows area school students who are interested in the broadcast industry to "shadow" station personnel.  Each year we host several students from various schools throughout the listening area and give them a real life perspective of day-to-day operations in a radio station.  One of these Job Shadow opportunities took place on November 9, 2004 when a student from Montgomery County R-II High School spent the day with the KMCR Station Manager.
