The Washington Media Scholars Foundation announced today the signing of Davonte “Ticket” Gaines, a Junior at George Mason University, and a member of the men’s basketball team. Ticket will serve as a brand ambassador to raise awareness about the foundation and the upcoming annual public affairs competition among college students in Washington DC. Among other things, Ticket will be appearing in a series of online videos to announce the competition’s finalists and welcome them to Washington DC.

“We are always looking for new ways to expand the reach and impact of The Washington Media Scholars Foundation. That’s why we’re excited to welcome Ticket as a brand ambassador who can help share our story, highlight our Media Scholars and connect with his followers,” said Robin D.

Founded in 2009 by Roberts, the non-partisan Washington Media Scholars Foundation (WMSF) has raised over $2.5 million in scholarships and support to fuel the scholastic ambitions and career aspirations of undergraduate students pursuing degrees in media and public policy.

Each academic year, the Foundation touches the lives of 400 undergraduate students through its signature programs, Media Scholars and Media Fellows. These programs offer a supportive learning platform that challenges them to think creatively and critically, while rewarding best-in-class candidates with merit scholarships ranging from $1,500 – $5,000. Funded and sustained through the generous investments and active participation of its sponsors and media partners, WMSF empowers students to fulfill their dreams of working in strategic media by providing real-world experiences and reducing financial barriers to their success.

“I’m excited and honored for this opportunity to promote the Washington Media Scholars Foundation. The foundation does incredible work in providing scholarships and helping college students from around the country connect with the most influential people in DC. I’m looking forward to do all I can to help share this wonderful story,” said Davonte “Ticket” Gaines.
