Cut-It-Out Communications Announces $1,000 Scholarship and Internship for Traditional and Online Public Relations
Hartsdale, New York (PRWEB) July 16, 2014 -- Cut-It-Out Communications, Inc. (http://www.cioediting.com), a full-service Westchester County public relations agency, today announced the inauguration of a $1,000 student scholarship and internship program with an application deadline of December 31, 2014 for the summer of 2015.
The scholarship is open to communications majors in the United States with a minimum 3.0 grade point average, and further details are available at http://www.cioediting.com/public-relations-scholarship.asp. Applicants must write a creative press release about a modern-day invention of “scissors” by their client.
Willy Gissen, President of Cut-It-Out Communications, said, “I still remember how much I learned when a PR professional from Hill & Knowlton taught me the trade of public relations and opened up so many opportunities for me. Perhaps, this scholarship and internship provides a way for me to give back to another deserving young person.”
