In 2024, the tradition continues with three scholarships of $2,000 each to be awarded, one for a student from each of the three counties.
The selection of recipients will be based on talent, experience, and a demonstrated commitment to theater or journalism. The process, chaired by Carbonell Vice President and Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs member Javier Siut, ensures a fair and comprehensive evaluation of all applicants. Detailed guidelines and the application form can be found at the Carbonell Awards Website.
