Ad Club of Akron Scholarship

The Advertising Club of Akron established this scholarship in order to contribute to the Akron community by enhancing local educational opportunities. One or more $1,000 scholarships ($500 per semester) are awarded. Recipients must be graduates of high schools in Summit, Portage or Medina County, and are selected based on academic achievements and financial need. They must be full-time juniors or seniors by fall, with a grade point average of 2.75 or above or grade point average of 3.0 or above in major, and majoring in marketing management, e-marketing or advertising major.

The application consists of a resume and cover letter. Please read each scholarship description for required qualifications.

When the scholarship description states "full-time student", "junior standing", or other criteria, this applies to the period during which the scholarship is active (i.e. the 2010-11 academic year).

Deadline for submission of applications is:

5:00 p.m., Friday, March 26, 2010 (Except for Walker Scholarship applications which are due on February 4, 2010).

To apply for the scholarships, submit the required documents to Ms. Marie David in the Marketing Department (Room 302) or mail them to Ms. Marie David, Marketing Department, The University of Akron, Akron, OH 44325-4804. Please call Ms. David at 330-972-6029 if you have any questions.

Apply for all scholarships for which you are eligible, based on the qualifications listed. You need not create a new cover letter for each scholarship, simply change the heading. See an example of a resume and a cover letter.

According to the Office of Student Financial Aid, in most cases a scholarship will not affect any Stafford loans that a student is already receiving. In general, the university will award scholarships up to the amount of tuition and fees, taking into account all scholarships that the student might be receiving. If you have any specific questions about how a scholarship would impact your own situation, please contact the Office of Student Financial Aid.
