The Tournament of Roses® announced that the application period is now open for The Rose Bowl Game Keith Jackson Postgraduate Scholarship.
 
The scholarship, which launched in 2019, recognizes one senior student or recent graduate from a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) school for exceptional achievement in academics and civic service, who also wish to pursue a career in the sports industry, with an emphasis on journalism, media relations, event operations, team operations, or marketing. The recipient will receive a $10,000 scholarship, to be paid to their postgraduate institution of choice, to further their academic study. Applications are due by October 24, 2025.
 
Additionally, as part of the Keith Jackson Postgraduate Scholarship, the recipient will be given the opportunity to receive a "Rose Bowl Game Experience." The experience will consist of a three-night trip to Pasadena, Calif., to visit with staff during the build-up to "The Granddaddy of Them All," culminating with the opportunity to work the Rose Bowl Game on New Year's Day.
 
The scholarship is named on behalf of Keith Jackson, who was the voice of college football for several generations. Jackson was a man of many catchphrases, including "Whoa, Nellie" and "Big Uglies", but was also credited with popularizing the Rose Bowl Game's nickname as "The Granddaddy of Them All". He was on the call for the Rose Bowl Game on 15 occasions between 1989 and 2006. His final game in the broadcast booth was the 2006 BCS National Championship at the Rose Bowl Game.
  
The Keith Jackson Postgraduate Scholarship is funded by the Pasadena Tournament of Roses. For more information, including details on eligibility and how to apply, please click here.
