The Advertising Club of Connecticut’s mission is to promote the highest standards of excellence in advertising and marketing throughout the state, emphasizing professionalism, educational programs and seminars, networking, social networking, scholastic mentoring, exchanging of ideas and the recognition of creative excellence.

To help achieve that goal and help encourage students to enter related fields, each year we award the Rob Branham Scholarship to students planning on entering the advertising, marketing or supporting industries. The criteria for scholastic excellence is based upon a combination of essays, referrals, extracurricular activities, SAT scores, and GPAs (See scholarship application for details). It is recommended that a member of the Advertising Club of Connecticut sponsor your application.

This year the deadline for the applications is Friday, April 29, 2011. All applications will be reviewed and winners will be notified. The winning applicants will be announced at the Advertising Club of Connecticut Awards Show on Tuesday, May 10, 2011.

Please check with your family, friends and colleagues for potential candidates and encourage them to apply for this wonderful opportunity the Advertising Club has to offer.
