The American Marketing Association Foundation (AMAF) is pleased to offer a brand new scholarship opportunity this year, open to all marketing undergraduate students! AMAF acquired the Lee Epstein Scholarship from Marketing Edge, a former non-profit organization focused on preparing next-generation talent for thriving careers in marketing. This fund was established in honor of Lee Epstein, the founder of the non-profit Direct Marketers Gateway, Inc. and a lifelong supporter of integrated marketing educational programs.
