An education is more than just midterms, finals, top ramen, and pulling all-nighters. It’s about establishing a solid foundation to build your future career and a path to discovering what you are truly passionate about. Unfortunately, education comes with a heavy price tag.

From books, to housing, to school supplies, education expenses can add up quickly and cause additional stress on students. That’s why we want to help. At yourmarketingpeople.com, we value education and want to provide local Los Angeles and Orange County students with financial assistance.

We are pleased to announce our very first scholarship “Your Marketing People Scholarship Program” to assist students in achieving their educational goals. The $1000 yearly scholarship will be awarded to one student to go towards their education expenses.

Our aim is to increase this amount every year as the scholarship grows.
