The Marketing Academy has opened nominations for Australians to join its international "Scholarship Program". Last year, 500 professionals within marketing, advertising, media and communications competed for just 30 places in Australia.

What you need to know:

The Marketing Academy's Scholarship Program is now accepting nominations for Australian entrants.
Only 30 people out of 500 in the industry were able to secure a spot last year.

The Marketing Academy has opened nominations for the eighth Australian intake of its annual Scholarship Program.

The development program is recognised by the industry as one of the most "prestigious and impactful" development programs available.

It gives successful applicants access to a line-up of C-suite mentors and executive coaches in addition to a packed residential curriculum.

The deadline for nominations is December 3, 2021, with the program running between March and November 2022.

Places are highly sought after, with over 500 people within the industry competing for just 30 places in Australia last year.

Graduates of all programs are supported by ongoing Alumni Programs which are now supplemented via The Marketing Academy Virtual Campus, a 12-month program of lectures, masterclasses and workshops exclusively for The Marketing Academy community and sponsors. The Australia Alumni program has 180 members and is currently sponsored by American Express.

The Marketing Academy, which operates in the UK, Australia and the US, is a not-for-profit and supported exclusively by sponsorship from the industry, meaning selection to the programmes is merit-based and free to attend.

This year the Australian Scholarship was sponsored by Google, Commonwealth Bank, Salesforce, KFC and IAG.
