KUCHING: Shopper360 Limited, a renowned shopper marketing expert group, is delighted to announce a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with IACT College, the leading creative communication education provider in the country.
This collaboration will involve Shopper360 providing financial support and valuable opportunities to deserving students through a generous RM200,000 scholarship fund.
The scholarship fund, allocated from 2023 to 2024, will be divided into two categories: the Shopper360 Career Catalyst Scholarship and the Shopper360 Nation Building Scholarship.
The Shopper360 Career Catalyst Scholarship is open to exceptional students in the first semester of their final year, pursuing a BA (Hons) in Media, Culture, and Communications or a BA (Hons) in Advertising and Design from the University of Sunderland.
Successful applicants will receive a fund of RM20,000 and a one-year contract with shopper360 or its affiliated companies, providing them with valuable industry experience.
On the other hand, the Shopper360 Nation Building Scholarship is available to any student enrolled at IACT College who has completed at least two semesters and is facing financial constraints in continuing their studies.
Applicants are required to submit proof of their parents’ or guardians’ financial standing, along with a concise one-page essay outlining their reasons for deserving the scholarship.
Each year, four deserving recipients will be awarded RM10,000 each, providing vital financial assistance to pursue their educational goals.
Both scholarships not only provide financial aid but also offer recipients the invaluable opportunity to engage in internships with shopper360 or its affiliated companies.
This practical experience will allow students to expand their knowledge and skills beyond the classroom, providing them with a solid foundation that nurtures leadership skills and enhances problem-solving abilities through various projects and activations across the shopper360 group of companies.
Shopper360 Limited executive chairman and group managing director Chew Sue Ann said the company firmly believed that education extended beyond mere knowledge.
“It encompasses mentorship, the right attitude for work and the opportunity to flourish.
“Through our partnership with IACT College and the establishment of these scholarships, we aim to create a future where fresh graduates are empowered, equipped and inspired to achieve excellence.”
She also expressed the company’s intention to attract talented students from the new generation who are eager to learn, and to provide them with the invaluable chance to gain experience through internships and appointments in their group of companies.
