UCO Professional Media major Mark Lowe from Lawton, Olahoma, was awarded the Gene Dillehay/William “Bill” Thrash Scholarship from the Oklahoma Education Television Authority (OETA).

Lowe was nominated for the scholarship by UCO Mass Communication faculty and he was selected after being interviewed by the OETA scholarship committee. Lowe plans to be a news or sports reporter after graduation and recently completed an internship at KSWO-TV, an ABC affiliate in Lawton.

The scholarship is awarded in honor and memory of William “Bill” Thrash and Gene Dillehay as a tribute to their outstanding service to OETA and the Oklahoma City broadcasting industry as TV producers and veterans.

Congratulations, Mark!
