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.
The goal of WONGDOODY’s scholarship program has always been to bolster the voices of those who have been underrepresented in our industry.
