Remembering Harold Ennes
The Harold Ennes Scholarship Fund
To honor Harold Ennes and help more people learn about broadcasting, the SBE group in Indianapolis started something special in 1980. They created the Harold Ennes Scholarship Fund Trust. A scholarship is money given to students to help them pay for their education. This fund was made to help students who wanted to study broadcasting. In 1981, the local SBE group gave the Scholarship Trust to the national SBE organization to manage.
Expanding the Trust's Mission
Over time, the goals of the Trust grew bigger. It didn't just give out scholarships anymore. The Trust also started to help pay for and present educational programs about broadcast engineering. These programs included seminars and workshops, which are like special classes or training sessions. It also helped pay for publishing technical books and manuals. These books teach people how to work with broadcasting equipment.
The Harold Ennes Educational Foundation Trust
In 1995, the Trust's name was changed to the Harold Ennes Educational Foundation Trust. This new name showed its wider role in education. Some of the main goals of this Trust are:
- To encourage more people, including women and minority groups, to work in technical jobs in broadcasting.
- To check and approve technical training courses to make sure they are good.
- To work with similar groups in other countries. This helps them create and improve training courses together.
