Marketing Education Scholarship Fund

The Scholarship

 

Each year, Jelly Academy offers two $2500 scholarships for post-secondary students. The scholarships are to be used for by the students for their current studies at their post-secondary institution. To apply, students must be enrolled in an undergraduate program at a Canadian university or college in one of the following fields of study:

  • Business

  • Marketing

  • Communications

  • Public Relations 

  • Computer Science

Eligible students include all of:

  • Undergraduate

  • Graduate

  • Continuing Studies

Successful applicants must display an interest in pursuing a career in public relations, advertising, or marketing.

To help you prepare, here are a few resources you'll be expected to submit on the application:

  • Please upload an essay outlining why you should receive this award. This should include a summary of your volunteer work, academic achievements, career goals, and leadership and humanitarian qualities.

  • Please upload a short video of yourself answering these suggested questions, but we’ll leave it up to you (max 5 mins):

    • Tell us about yourself! 

    • What are your hobbies? What motivates you?

    • Why do you think marketing is the right career path for you?

    • What is one fun fact about yourself? 

  • Reference Letter

  • Reference Contact Information

Successful applicants will be selected by a panel of jury members who will be making a decision based on the content of the essay, and reference letter.


Applications for 2024 are now open!
