Novitas Diverse Voices Scholarship
Novitas believes that diversity is critical to the public relations industry.
It is important to encourage increasingly diverse voices in all fields, but the efforts to promote diversity in public relations are valuable to creating a more educated, accepting communications industry and society. The Novitas Diverse Voices Scholarship will support a student who is interested in pursuing a career in public relations and who comes from a background that remains underrepresented in the field.
High school seniors or undergraduate students are eligible to apply if they are an underrepresented minority, including but not limited to, low-income backgrounds, first generation college students, BIPOC or from the LGBTQIA+ community. Students applying must be pursuing a career in public relations, although it is not required to be majoring in public relations or communications.
To apply, please write about what impact the power of diverse voices in public relations can have on shaping the public narrative.
