Breaking Down Barriers to Entry, One Scholarship at a Time
Reading Time: ~2 Mins | Written By: Marissa Mok & Jessica Quiring
Getting a degree, diploma, or certificate from a post-secondary institution is often seen as necessary to succeed in today’s job market, or at least advantageous. However, the financial burden and time commitment required for these credentials can overwhelm many students. As a result, students are increasingly turning to opportunities provided by online learning platforms, such as our Digital Marketing Bootcamp. These online, streamlined courses not only teach and equip students with the same fundamental marketing skills and practical application exercises a post-secondary institution would but are often much more aligned with students’ budgets and timelines.
With tuition costs on the constant rise, a communications student pursuing a Bachelor's degree can expect to pay an average of $27,000 in tuition, plus tens of thousands more for student fees, housing, meal plans, textbooks, and other costs over four years. Additionally, with part-time courses, internships, and study abroad opportunities, students now take an average of 5.5 years to complete their degree. This extended timeline adds more fees to the overall expense of a post-secondary degree and can create additional financial stress for students.
Too much tuition and too little time lead to stressed-out students deciding whether to pursue a post-secondary education. Fortunately, other options exist to alleviate these worries while providing a high-quality education with expert teachers, on-demand lessons, modules, and hands-on learning applications. Recognizing these challenges, we launched the Digital Marketing Career Accelerator Scholarship to eliminate barriers to entry for high school and post-secondary students aiming to enter the digital marketing industry and grow their skills.
With our nine-week, affordable and highly acclaimed Digital Marketing Bootcamp program, graduates will receive the knowledge, skills, and industry certifications needed to jump right into a digital marketing role upon graduation. The scholarship provides crucial financial support, making this valuable education accessible to more students.

Applicability of Knowledge
Many traditional post-secondary programs focus heavily on theory rather than teaching the practical knowledge and skills essential in today’s job market. The Digital Marketing Bootcamp bridges this gap by providing hands-on training and real-world applications, ensuring that graduates are job-ready with the core skills used in everyday digital marketing roles.
At Jelly Academy, we believe that financial constraints should not hinder passionate and talented individuals from pursuing their dreams. By offering this Digital Marketing Bootcamp scholarship, we hope to empower students to overcome financial barriers and gain the education they need to succeed in the digital marketing industry. Together, we can break down barriers to entry, one scholarship at a time.
