MCM Scholarship returns to support young creatives for third year
April 13, 2026
MCM Comic Con has announced that the MCM Scholarship is back for the third year, helping young creatives kickstart their careers in creative industries.
The MCM Scholarship was launched in 2024 as a part of a wider initiative to support young people from underrepresented backgrounds who may otherwise struggle to break into the literary, art and video game industries. The scholarship’s return for its third year signals MCM Comic Con’s ongoing commitment to investing in the future of the UK’s creative talent.
The winners of the MCM Scholarship will be granted free entry for all three days of MCM Comic Con this May, a three night stay at a hotel near Excel London and a cash prize of £500. Best of all, the winners will also receive a bespoke itinerary based on their career goals, giving them the opportunity to make connections with leaders in their chosen fields.
Applications for the MCM Scholarship are now open, and close at midnight on April 27th.
In order to have the best 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.
