Pattison Media, formerly the Jim Pattison Broadcast Group, created the scholarships in 2009 to address the shortage of team members from four groups: Indigenous peoples, persons with disabilities, members of visible minorities, and women.

Pattison Media believes these scholarships will help the industry access an untapped pool of potentially talented employees, encourage diverse points of view and backgrounds, enhance relationships with local communities and broaden the audience and advertiser base.
