Students & Scholarship
Students
So you’re ready to carve out a career in the creative world of creativity, but you’re not quite sure how, or where to make the first contact. Student membership in the Ad Club of Western Mass is a no-brainer because it gives you the perfect platform for showcasing your strengths and making a personal pitch to people already in the business.
For roughly the cost of a movie, soda, and popcorn, you’ll receive the same awesome benefits as our more (ahem) seasoned members.
Scholarship
