How to Apply

Online Application

The deadline to apply is Friday, April 11, at 11:59 p.m.

You must be an FPRA student member to be eligible for the scholarship. 

Applications must include a student’s headshot, resume and a video less than 3-minutes in length online through this form.

  • Your video must contain your name, major/area of study, and a response to these two questions:
    • How can emerging communication and technology trends – such as AI, short-form video content and influencer marketing for example – be integrated with traditional public relations strategies like news releases, media relations and social media content to enhance overall effectiveness? If possible, share an example of a recent project where you combined both traditional and emerging PR approaches.
    • Where do you see your career in five years, and how do you think attending FPRA’s PR & Comms Summit will help you get there?

Your submission is private and will only be reviewed only by the judges to select a winner. By submitting your entry, you are confirming that you are available to attend the full conference from Aug. 3-6 and agree to go if you are selected as the winner.
