The Michael Hardgrove Scholarship
This one-time scholarship honors Michael Hardgrove's contributions to our industry and to our chapter. Mike served as president of KETC, now Nine PBS, St. Louis' public television station for nearly 25 years until his retirement in 2002. During that time, he had served as the Mid-America Chapter's president and trustee and often contributed his station's resources in support of our activities and operations. Mike passed away this past December at the age of 85. The scholarship is funded in part by a contribution by Nine PBS in his memory.
