LOS ANGELES, Calif. (PRNewswire) - The LAGRANT Foundation (TLF) is now
accepting scholarships applications for the 2011-12 academic year.
Applications must be submitted to TLF by Monday, Feb. 28, 2011, for
consideration.

Twenty outstanding students will be awarded college scholarships:
€15 undergraduate students will receive awards of $5,000 each
€ five graduate students will receive awards of $10,000 each.

In addition, all students will receive a trip to New York City to celebrate
TLF¹s 13th Anniversary Scholarship Recognition Reception and Awards Program
on May 23, 2011. 

Recipients will participate in a daylong career development workshop and
have the opportunity to meet with industry professionals. All travel
expenses for the scholarship recipients will be paid for by TLF.

To apply:  students must be of African-American, Asian/Pacific Islander,
Hispanic/Latino or Native American descent pursuing degrees in:
€ advertising 
€marketing

at an accredited college or university.

Undergraduate students must have at least a 2.75 GPA, and graduate students
must have at least a 3.2 GPA.

All recipients must be available to attend all TLF scholarship events and
make a commitment to maintain contact with TLF for assistance with
professional development.

The lack of ethnic minorities working in advertising, marketing and public
relations is shocking, and TLF works to close this gap in the industry by
providing scholarships and helping students gain the knowledge and tools
they need to be successful. Most impor- tantly, TLF also helps students
break into the field with internships. ³At the end of the day, what¹s
important to me is to get minorities placed,² says Kim Hunter, the
founder/chairman of TLF. This directly helps the scarcity problem of
minorities in the field.
TLF was established in 1998 by Mr. Kim L. Hunter, whose vision is to see
more ethnic representation within the fields of advertising, marketing and
public relations.  Since its inception, the LAGRANT Foundation has awarded
close to $1 million and more than 180 scholarships to ethnic minority
students nationwide.

Thanks to its committed board of directors and donors, TLF continues to
strive toward achieving its mission of increasing ethnic minorities in
advertising, marketing and public relations.
