24-25 AMA Foundation Collegiate Scholarship - Lee Epstein Scholarship

As the philanthropic arm of the AMA, the American Marketing Association Foundation (AMAF) seeks to elevate marketing visionaries, empower future generations, inspire a more diverse industry and ensure marketing research impacts public good. 

AMAF Scholarships are for marketing students who are leaders on campus and in the classroom who will continue to impact the industry in the years to come.

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.

AMAF is thrilled to further the legacy of Lee Epstein by offering the “Lee Epstein Scholarship Fund.” This scholarship aims to support talented undergraduate students with a passion for marketing in the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.
