This groundbreaking initiative provides exceptional young minds from the New Orleans area with unprecedented access to one of the world’s most celebrated sporting events, offering them a unique opportunity to gain real-world experience in the sports media industry.

The Super Bowl LIX Media Scholars Program is designed to empower students with firsthand exposure to NFL-sponsored events, connections with industry leaders, and the chance to produce compelling stories that capture the essence of the Super Bowl.

In addition, we are thrilled to recognize Marcus Bland (Mass Communication), who was selected for the HBCU Experienceship Program! Through this initiative, Marcus is getting a behind-the-scenes look at Super Bowl planning, NFL operations, and a variety of other NFL-related roles. 

We also have students working directly with our program’s Professional-in-Residence, Bernel Davis, and Fox Sports, gaining invaluable hands-on experience in the industry:
