Harold and Muriel Berkman Marketing Scholarship
Offered by Harold and Muriel Berkman Charitable Foundation
About this scholarship
The Harold and Muriel Berkman Marketing Scholarship provides a one-time $2,000 award to U.S. citizens completing an undergraduate or graduate marketing degree through an AACSB-accredited university. The degree must be housed in a business school; eligible pathways include undergraduate marketing degrees, graduate marketing degrees, and MBA programs with a marketing emphasis. Freshmen and students in non-business degree programs are not eligible. The foundation’s current 2026 portal asks applicants to sign in or create an account and complete the online award process. Required uploads include a one-page résumé and an unofficial transcript from the applicant’s current school. The selection committee considers academic credentials, the likelihood that the student will finish the marketing degree, and the quality of the application essay. Applicants must provide accurate and durable contact information because award processing may occur well after submission and the foundation may follow up by email or postal mail. The sponsor opens the marketing application annually from April 22 through September 10 and plans to announce recipients by November 30. For the live 2026 portal, the submission deadline is September 10, 2026. Students should also verify their university’s current accreditation in the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business directory before investing time in the application.
