FOX News Media’s new AVOD streaming service FOX Weather
announced today that it will partner with the Mississippi State
University Foundation to further increase diversity in the
meteorology field by creating scholarship opportunities for
students electing a concentration in broadcast meteorology or
professional meteorology/climatology.
In making the announcement, FOX Weather President Sharri Berg
said, “FOX Weather is proud to partner with Mississippi State
University to help deserving students fulfill their career
aspirations, while increasing diversity, equity and inclusion in
the field of meteorology.”
The long-term commitment from FOX Weather establishes an endowed
scholarship fund for students studying weather forecasting at
Mississippi State University which has one of the nation’s premier
meteorology programs. Through FOX Weather’s gift, students will be
eligible to receive an annual scholarship as early as 2022 and
moving forward through the endowment in perpetuity. In addition to
the scholarship, FOX Weather will also provide an internship with
the streaming service along with a dedicated mentor for each
recipient throughout their college experience. Preference for the
scholarship will be given to upper-level undergraduates who have a
proven academic achievement record of a 3.0 GPA or higher.
FOX Weather, which launched on October 25th, quickly became the
number one most-downloaded free app on the iOS and Android App
Stores in its first week and is now one of the top five weather
apps on the market with more than one million downloads.
FOX Weather is a 24/7 ad-supported streaming service operated by
FOX News Media. The platform builds upon FOX News Channel’s
expansive newsgathering units & FOX Television Stations’ added
resources with a combined 120 meteorologists for a comprehensive
suite of weather products featuring local, regional, and national
reporting, in addition to live programming. Utilizing multiple
radar systems, including an immersive mobile 3D radar, the service
offers users an innovative approach to forecasting, including
coverage surrounding all weather patterns, from immediate to
long-term. FOX Weather is a free platform available at
