ReedPop has announced that the MCM Scholarship will be returning for a second year ahead of MCM Comic Con in May. The scholarship aims to help aspiring creatives kickstart their future creative careers.

The return of the MCM Scholarship comes as a part of a wider commitment to investing in the future of the creative industry and supporting young people from working class and underrepresented backgrounds who may not otherwise have easy access to their dream careers. The scholarship will present the winners with the opportunity to make connections with leading figures in their chosen fields, giving them a valuable shot to get their foot in the door.

The winner of the MCM Scholarship will also be granted free entry for all three days of MCM Comic Con, a three night stay at a hotel near Excel London and a cash prize of £500. The winner will also receive a bespoke itinerary based on their career goals, but will also be free to explore the show as they please.

Applications for the MCM Scholarship are open now, and close at midnight on April 21st. Anyone with a desire to take the plunge into a pop culture career such as gaming, comics, literature, acting or more can apply. Winners will be chosen based on the strength of their application and the passion displayed for their chosen field. In order to have a shot at winning the MCM Scholarship, applicants are encouraged to describe their current involvement in their desired creative field, list their long-term career goals, explain how winning will help them achieve those goals, and share any relevant portfolio work.

Last year’s winners can be read about here.

MCM Comic Con returns to Excel London from May 23rd to 25th, and will offer fans a chance to attend insightful panels, meet their favourite writers and celebrity guests, participate in writing workshops hosted by prominent authors and more.
