As university graduates ourselves, we know how tough it can be to handle rigorous curriculums and make ends meet at the same time.

So it is our pleasure to offer a $500 scholarship to a student in need of financial assistance.

Our hope is that this scholarship will help contribute to a student’s financial needs so they can better focus on pursuing their academic dreams.

The Emerging Industry Business and Marketing Scholarship

Summary

The consumer drone industry is still in its infancy. The innovation is astounding, and it’s an amazing time to be involved.

But it’s also a race to the top for many companies in the industry. Social media has ushered in a new era of transparency. This has spawned companies that are more value-driven than ever.

Many companies are capitalizing on this to move ahead of their less consumer-focused competitors.

This scholarship gives students the opportunity to explore what they would do to capture market share in an emerging industry that’s in a rapid phase of growth.
