The TLF Scholarship Program is offering students not only amazing financial support but the chance to participate in career-building activities and meet industry professionals.
Of the 50 scholarships, 30 ethnic minority undergraduate students will receive scholarships of $2,500 each and 20 graduate students will receive scholarships of $3,750 each.
When you think about any scholarship, the first thing that comes into your mind is the eligibility criteria.
When the TLF Scholarship Program is in question, the eligible applicants are those people who are U.S. citizens, permanent residents or DACA recipients.
They need to be members of one of the following ethnic groups: African American/Black, Asian American/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino or Native American/Alaska Native.
Next, the applicant must be a full-time student at a four-year, accredited institution within the U.S. and have a minimum of 3.0 GPA.
Last, but not least, he/she must major in a field of study that has an emphasis on advertising, marketing or public relations and has at least one year to complete his/her degree.
If you happen to be the lucky recipient of this award, you must be available to participate in the scholarship activities and attend TLF’s scholarship activities to receive the scholarship.
The application process is not made complicated so that everyone can apply.
You can find both the Undergraduate scholarship application in an MS Word format or Undergraduate Scholarship Application in a PDF format and fill it out.
It is important to mention that they must be typed or it will not be accepted.
Next, you have to submit a reference letter from a college professor or internship advisor on official letterhead and signed together with your current resume.
