Ella Carter has won the 2024 Glenn Daniel Smooth FM Scholarship by The Smooth Network.
Carter is a student at the Australian Film Television & Radio School (AFTRS) and began full-time study in the Graduate Diploma in Radio and Podcasting this year.
The Glenn Daniel Smooth FM Scholarship is a merit based AFTRS scholarship in partnership with Smooth FM awarded each year to help develop Australian radio, news and journalism talent. The scholarship supports students from under-represented groups in Australian broadcast sectors to continue their education at the school.
The scholarship is in honour of Australian radio journalist, broadcaster and podcast professional Glenn Daniel.
Carter said she is filled with endless gratitude, exhilaration and pride.
"To receive the Glenn Daniel Smooth FM Scholarship is such an honour and I could not be more excited to attend AFTRS in 2024," she said.
“With the help of this scholarship, I am able to take the leap from New Zealand to Australia and pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a radio host. I will forever be thankful to AFTRS and the team at Smooth FM for this incredible opportunity.”
