In December of 2013, our Stonecom radio family wanted to recognize a member of our team celebrating 30 years of commitment to the broadcast community in the Upper Cumberland. That commitment went far beyond the doors of our building as it included work with local businesses, local listeners, and the community as a whole.

Bill Penn has worked for at least one of the stations in our group for more than 30 years. We believed that the best way to honor him was to find the next Bill Penn.

We established the Bill Penn Scholarship, giving a deserving student in the Upper Cumberland the chance to follow in his footsteps through a career in radio, television, journalism, marketing or public relations. The scholarship provides a beginning to a student interested in our business — someone who could build their own career in the tradition of caring, honesty, friendliness, integrity and dedication to the profession that Bill embodies.

The Bill Penn Scholarship will be presented each spring and is open to seniors who plan to pursue a college degree in the areas of broadcasting, journalism, marketing and public relations. A plaque hangs in our Stonecom lobby honoring all recipients of the award. To apply for the scholarship, simply Bill Penn Broadcast Scholarship Application Package.
