2025 Collegiate Sales & Marketing Award Scholarship Application

Read what past award recipients have told us about winning this award:

I am grateful for the opportunities that the Buffalo Niagara Sales and Marketing Executives (BNSME) have presented me. The BNSME has given me the opportunity to be involved with a professional organization as a college student by taking advantage of networking and learning from business professionals. In addition, the BNSME has given me the opportunity to be a finalist in the 2016 Buffalo Niagara Sales and Marketing Executives Collegiate Scholarship. This monetary scholarship helped me pursue my Master of Business Administration degree, which I have recently achieved. These amazing BNSME opportunities have given me the ability to grow in my own professional career. The BNSME is a valuable professional organization that college students with all different backgrounds can utilize to advance their educational and professional careers!  Erika Betz, Hilbert College, 2017 Collegiate Sales & Marketing Scholarship Award winner

As a student, there’s always pressure to network, network, network but I believe building real, meaningful relationships is the foundation of success. BNSME has been a worker in my construction to success and I can’t thank them enough for the impact I have received from the Collegiate Sales & Marketing Award.  Kim Trieu, University at Buffalo, 2018 Collegiate Sales & Marketing Scholarship Award winner
