WONGDOODY Amplifying Creative Talent Scholarship





About The Scholarship
Calling all Black non-cis-male creatives currently enrolled in college — are you interested in pursuing a career as an art director, copywriter, UX designer, or strategist? If so, apply for WONGDOODY’s Amplifying Creative Talent Scholarship.
WONGDOODY’s scholarship program has always been aimed at helping fight the underrepresentation in our industry. To further our mission of increasing representation in our industry’s creative ranks, the winter 2021 session of the scholarship will go to a Black non-cis-male student pursuing a career in the field.
The Winter 2021 WONGDOODY Amplifying Creative Talent Scholarship is open to Black non-cis-male creatives who have been marginalized by societal constructs. This includes women (both cis and trans), non-binary persons, and trans men. Our scholarship is inclusive and supportive, and self-definition is at the sole discretion of the applicant.
