The scholarships will be awarded in the areas of journalism, marketing, public relations, event planning and information technology with a specific preference to those looking to expand their skills in the areas of website development, graphic design, video editing, social media and general technology studies.
Of even greater interest is that successful candidates will intern within the structures of Burning Bush Marketing, where interns will be provided with hands-on training, unparalleled exposure and practical day-to-day experience which will put them way ahead of other students who have not been afforded a unique opportunities such as this.
