For the Love of the PRSA Diversity Multicultural Scholarship

The PR industry needs diverse voices to progress. It’s imperative. That is why one of PRSA’s four strategic objectives for D&I focuses on increasing the number of multicultural students in PRSSA and new multicultural professionals into PRSA to 15% by 2023. The PRSA Diversity Multicultural Scholarship assists and recognizes young adults from underrepresented backgrounds for outstanding academic achievement and their commitment to the practice of public relations. The scholarship was created in 1989 and is funded by the PRSA National Multicultural Endowed Scholarship fund, which was established in 2020.

Through this fundraiser, we can help fund five additional scholarships next year. For contributions made by December 31^st, PRSATB is going one step further and offering to match our members’ contributions up to $300, doubling our impact.

The 2022 scholarship winners will be announced in late summer 2022. And of course, if you know of a Tampa Bay area student who should apply, please let them know about this opportunity for next year. We’d love to see a local student benefit from this great program.
