PRPLI Scholarship Program

Since 1990, Public Relations Professionals of Long Island (PRPLI) has been the organization on Long Island for people who work in the field of public relations to network, learn, mentor and advance in their careers.

Each year, PRPLI awards a $2,000 scholarship awards and a complimentary PRPLI membership for one year. Winner(s) will receive a check for $2,000 (made payable to winner) and the PRPLI membership, both which will be presented at the PRPLI Awards Dinner in May.
