How to win marketing scholarships
As with any type of scholarship, marketing scholarships are highly competitive. Each opportunity will receive many applicants and usually only has a few awards to give out. So, you’ll have to craft standout applications to win awards.
One of the best ways to do this is by giving yourself some time to reflect before you begin writing. Think about what motivates you to study marketing, and what change you hope to make in the world through your work. Reflect on past experiences and how they demonstrate skills that you have which will come in handy in the field.
As you reflect on these ideas, jot them down on a piece of paper. Don’t worry about grammar, succinctness, or even spelling – just put them down in bullet points or rough ideas, whichever is easiest for you. As you begin writing your essays, you can come back to this piece of paper for ideas. Refine your initial brainstorming session into succinct, powerful essays.

Crafting strong essays
Once you’ve spent some time reflecting, it’s time to start writing your essays. Of course, writing scholarship essays is its own craft and takes a unique set of skills. We can walk you through the process with a host of essay-writing resources. These include guides on how to start and end scholarship essays, how to respond to common prompts, and how to tailor your writing to 250 or 500 word limits. We can also help you write about yourself, and write a scholarship resume. Good luck!
