Ad Standards Scholarships

Ad Standards awards three annual scholarships of $2,500 to students enrolled in undergraduate advertising or marketing programs at Canadian universities and colleges. The scholarships honor Robert E. Oliver, Ad Standards' first president and a pioneer of Canadian advertising self-regulation. One scholarship is awarded to a student at a primarily English institution, one to a student at a primarily French institution, and one to a student who identifies as being part of an underrepresented community in the Canadian advertising and marketing industry. Successful applicants demonstrate academic excellence, a commitment to volunteerism, and an interest in pursuing a career in advertising or marketing.
