Media Fellows

Application

Media Fellows scholarships, awarded twice annually in August and in November, are essay-based. Successful submissions include an essay (“proposal”) outlining the student’s personal financial need case as well as their academic and career aspirations. We seek to support students whose academic interests are at the intersection of advertising and public policy. This includes (but is not limited to) Advertising, Marketing, Communications, Business, Political Science, Strategic Media and other majors. Media Fellows scholarships have been awarded to all classes, but juniors and seniors are highly encouraged to apply. In addition to the student proposal, a compelling recommendation from an academic advisor or instructor is required, and a current resume’ is recommended, but optional. Finally, a brief phone interview is required. Students currently enrolled in a college or university are encouraged to apply, using the online application form below.
