Scholarships

Portfolio schools have historically been a barrier to entry for many aspiring advertising creatives. We designed book180 to be part of the solution, but we understand the tuition may still be too big of a burden for some people. So in addition to flexible payment plans, we offer new and different scholarships every semester. Here are the current scholarships we're offering.

The About Face Scholarship

Big career changes take courage. The About Face Scholarship was created to provide $1,500 in support to a veteran who’s ready to channel their discipline, determination, and experience into a new creative career in copywriting or art direction. All scholarship materials (essay, book180 application and supporting documents) are due by August 1, 2026. First, start by applying to book180's Fall 2026 Semester.

The Rory & Reece Scholarship

In the past year, book180’s founders welcomed two tiny new team members: Rory and Reece. To celebrate, we're offering a $1,750 scholarship to a mom who's navigating the beautiful chaos of parenthood on her journey to a new creative career. This scholarship also includes a $250 reimbursement towards Care.com services, for a little extra backup while at book180. All scholarship materials (essay, book180 application and supporting documents) are due by August 1, 2026. First start by applying to book180's Fall 2026 Semester.

The BLAC Internship Alumni Scholarship

We opened book180 to give more people access to portfolio school, where inclusion and diversity are profoundly lacking—especially within the Black community. We are honored, and so excited to once again partner with the BLAC Internship Program. This scholarship gives full-tuition support to one creative from the BLAC program who'd like to enter the world of creative advertising by attending book180's Fall 2026 semester. All scholarship materials (preliminary application, video submission and creative samples) are due by the scholarship deadline of 8/11/2026. Once you fill out the preliminary application, a zoom interview will be set up and you will be directed to the video and creative submission application. For more information or questions, please email hello@book180.com. We will announce the recipient by September 8, 2026. Fall 2026 classes start on October 5th.
