Hampton, Va. - The Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications (SHSJC) at Hampton University announced that two of its students have been awarded scholarships from Y&R advertising, and named the first 'Y&R Scholars'. The scholarships are the result of a partnership the school has with Y&R called The Talent Pipeline, which is designed to be a systematic path for grooming and cultivating high-potential students as future advertising and communication industry talent.
Consisting of five components, Explorers, Scholars, Interns and Proteges, the Y&R Scholars component aims to promote the retention among students who may have difficulty completing college due to financial barriers. The $1,000 scholarship award recipients, Ashley Meachem, a graduating senior from Carson, Calif., and Kori Williams, a junior from Cleveland, Ohio, are both public relations majors with an interest in the advertising field.
