Creating scholarship, learning and career advancement opportunities.

Our Mission

Founded in 2009 by Robin D. Roberts, the Washington Media Scholars Foundation (WMSF), a 501(c)(3) organization, engages with undergraduate students, connecting deserving young people with senior-level executives from major media companies and providing academic scholarships to students pursuing degrees in media, communication and public policy.

Since its founding, WMSF has provided more than $3 million dollars in student support and scholarships to more than 800 students from hundreds of colleges and universities across the country.

The Foundation engages with undergraduate students, connecting deserving young people with senior-level executives from major media companies and providing academic scholarships to students pursuing degrees in a variety of disciplines.

The Foundation coordinates two initiatives: Media Scholars and Media Fellows. These signature platforms fulfill the mission of creating scholarship, educational and career advancement opportunities for college students interested in strategic media. Previous scholarship recipients pursued an array of academic disciplines including Advertising, Business, Communications, and Political Science.
