AAF-KC Scholarship

Do this. It really can change your life.

What is it? It’s the AAF-KC annual scholarship. Every year, the AAF awards several scholarships to top students from a number of different schools. You get $750 per semester, for I think 2 semesters; a free student AAF membership; and more. But — most important — you are awarded a mentor… a working advertising professional who will take you under his/her wings and show you the way of the advertising world. This is invaluable.

You get:

• Financial assistance of $750 per semester
• The support and counsel of a mentor from the membership of the AAF-KC
• One-year membership in the American Advertising Federation of Kansas City and AAF National
• Invitations to attend all regular program activities of AAF-KC at no cost while in school (excludes annual ADDY Awards show)
• All event and other mailings from AAF-KC

Requirements:

•  Must be a junior in the fall of 2016. (Seniors in fall 2016 that are graduating in December 2016 are also eligible.)
• Must be enrolled at an eligible university (NWMSU is eligible)
• Must major in something related to advertising, such as: advertising, IDM, marketing, broadcasting, public relations, mass media, communication, graphic design, art, journalism, etc.
• There is no minimum GPA requirement, but you’ll probably be asked your GPA in the application process.

Every year for the past 15 years a Northwest student has received either a scholarship or a mentor.

All applications must be complete by 11:59 PM on Friday, February 28, 2019.

See this site to begin the application process –– it takes 30 to 60 minutes, but you can stop and start often, so… start now!
