Collective and the 4A's Foundation Announce the 2017 Winner of The Collective Bill Caspare Memorial Fund Scholarship
Scholarship to support student recipient's pursuit of an advertising and media career
NEW YORK, Oct. 3, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Collective, the technology company bringing transparency to programmatic media, announced today that University of California, Berkeley senior Nathaniel Medina has been awarded the third annual Bill Caspare Memorial Fund Scholarship. Established to support multicultural students pursuing careers in advertising and media. The $10,000 award will aid Medina as he completes his business administration studies, in which he is focusing on marketing and technology.
Medina was selected in part for his academic record, industry involvement and community leadership. A proud member of the Hispanic American community, Medina celebrates his heritage by serving as historian chair of Hermanos Unidos de UC Berkeley, a Chicano and Latino fraternity, and project manager of DiversaTech, a student-run technology consulting organization. He is also a program fellow at Management Leadership for Tomorrow, a nonprofit organization guiding multicultural youth along their educational and career paths. Medina has completed internships at Facebook, Google and the Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS).
"We are honored to continue Bill's legacy by bolstering the education of talented and diverse youth. Nathaniel embodies the qualities that this scholarship was created to nurture, demonstrating intelligence as well as leadership in his community. He's clearly passionate about the industry and has already shown his ability to seize amazing opportunities. We are happy to support Nathaniel in his education, and wish him a successful career," said Kerry Bianchi, CEO of Collective.
Established in 2015 by Collective and The 4As, the national trade organization representing advertising agencies in the US, the scholarship commemorates Bill Caspare, a former senior executive with Collective. The fund provides a variety of resources including scholarships that allow students and young professionals of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds to explore careers in new media, data science and product development. This includes all rising college juniors and seniors who identify as African American, Asian American, Hispanic American, Native American, Multiracial or LBGTQ.
Last year's winner was Cindy Almonte, an alumnus of Ringling College of Art and Design, who majored in Advertising Design.
