The award

What you receive

Each $1,000 award is paid directly to the winner's institution toward tuition and fees, applied to the spring or fall term. Five awards are given each year.

Winners are notified by email and — with permission — featured on this page, joining a growing list of students we're proud to have backed.

The application

The essay — pick one prompt, 800–1,200 words

1

“Print in a digital world.”

Marketers spend billions on digital ads that most people scroll past. Why does physical mail still work — and where do you think it fits in the marketing mix of the next decade?

2

“Deliver an idea.”

Pick a local business you love. Design (in words) a direct mail campaign for it: audience, message, offer, and how you'd measure success.

We're looking for clear thinking and a real point of view — not buzzwords.

How to apply

Three things, one email

Your essay, as a PDF or Word document

Your name, phone, school, major, and expected graduation year

Proof of enrollment or acceptance — an unofficial transcript or acceptance letter is fine

Email everything to:

with the subject line “Scholarship Application — [Your Name]”
