Scholarships

Each year the Center for Retailing Studies awards scholarships to retailing students based on their academic achievement, leadership skills, and demonstrated interest to pursue professional careers in retailing.  All students are encouraged to apply.  Applications are due mid-spring, and awards are presented at the marketing department’s annual awards banquet in May.  Download application.

Partner companies of the Center are invited to participate by funding scholarships.  This is a special way to directly enhance the success of students interested in retailing.  Scholarships are named for the funding partner.  Proceeds from the Center’s premier conference for industry executives, the Retailing Summit, also fund scholarships.  Companies interested in participating in funding and naming a scholarship should contact Kelli Hollinger at 979-845-0325.
