NEW YORK, New York, Dec. 17, 2019 — How do we solve the $1.5 trillion student debt problem? By convincing companies to put a small fraction of their $333 billion<\/a> digital advertising spend to fund scholarships.  
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOver the past few years, we have persuaded many companies to allocate some of their ad budget to fund scholarships,\u201d said Peter Corrigan, CEO of The University Network (TUN). \u201cIt\u2019s been a win-win for companies and students alike, but given the ballooning student debt problem, we decided that we had to step up our game to make it easier for companies to start a scholarship. So, we created a tool that lets anyone start a scholarship within 90 seconds for free.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TUN\u2019s free Scholarship Creation Tool<\/a> can be used by companies of every size. To create a scholarship, all that\u2019s required is 90 seconds to answer a few easy questions online — how much they want their scholarship to be worth and who\u2019s eligible to apply. From there, they can choose from a list of 500-word passion-based essay prompts or create their own. Finally, they enter in their name, website and email address, and voil\u00e0, the scholarship is made. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s our goal to create $1 billion in new scholarships,\u201d Corrigan said. \u201cSo, we needed to make the process simple. I know the number sounds crazy, but advertisers are spending $333 billion a year just on digital marketing. Putting less than one-third of 1 percent of their digital budget into scholarship programs doesn\u2019t seem to be too big of an ask, particularly when scholarship programs have a better ROI than most digital marketing.\u201d 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting up a scholarship with the tool requires students to write a 500-word essay about their volunteerism, sustainability, leadership or passion. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhile accomplishments on the playing field and in the classroom account for most scholarship awards today, why not also reward volunteerism, sustainability, leadership or individual talents and the desire to pursue them?\u201d Corrigan said.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once a scholarship is created and reviewed by TUN\u2019s editorial team, the scholarship will be immediately discoverable in TUN\u2019s Scholarship Search Engine and shared with students. 
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies that offer scholarships will be helping themselves<\/a>. Scholarships are an effective marketing strategy<\/a> — they have been known to increase customer loyalty, enhance SEO, improve digital footprints and serve as an opportunity to broadcast a company\u2019s values.
