City Internships | Scholarships & Program Update

i.  Q1 Scholarship Update: Cast the deciding vote for our contest finalists

Three students have progressed to the second round of the design track of our Q1 Scholarship Contest, and two to the marketing & advertising track.

For the design element of this contest, students were invited to download a PDF document from our website and re-design it with our branding or mock up their own version of a social media campaign.

For marketing and advertising we asked entrants to create a video that focuses on student life and answers the question, “how do you maintain a focus on the future, while enjoying the here and now?”

For both, we saw many high-quality submissions from a diverse pool of students. Our contest committee selected finalists for each. Now, the entries with most likes and shares on Facebook will progress to the final round; a brief interview to discuss career aspirations.

Design finalists:
> Northwestern University (US) - Milan
> University of California, Riverside (US) – Cindy University of Hong
> Kong (HK) – Tyson

Marketing & Advertising finalists:
> University of Sheffield (UK) – Sofija
> Fresno State University (US) – Uriel

Please support our entrants and browse submissions via our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/CityInternships/

Please take the time to like and share your favourites, and ask your students to do the same. Voting will close on Monday, April 17th.

We are in the process of interviewing entrants to both the Investment Banking and Entrepreneurship contests.
