Students, it is time to apply for the 2017-18 AAF-KC Foundation Scholarship!
The Scholarship has been awarded for almost 30 years now, and is a fantastic way for students to set themselves apart from their peers and get involved in the thriving Kansas City advertising community early, both of which can make a huge difference when it comes time to find that crucial first job! VML CEO Jon Cook and Barkley CEO Jeff King both got a leg up on their peers thanks to this scholarship in the early 90’s.
Winners will receive:
- Financial assistance of $1,500 per year (paid in $750 per semester increments)
- A mentor, who will be a working professional in the area of the business the student is interested in pursuing
- Free membership in AAF-KC and AAF National
- Free admission to every AAF-KC event, excluding the American Advertising Awards
When reviewing applications, the Foundation board considers a variety of factors, including financial need, grades, involvement on campus and in the community and passion for the industry. This is not a need-based scholarship, nor is it chosen based on whose grades are the best; it’s based on all these factors, so we encourage all eligible students to apply.
The application closes on February 28, 2017 at midnight, so click the link below and get started today.
