The Rob Branham Scholarship

Each year the Advertising Club of Connecticut awards 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. A member of the Ad Club must sponsor all candidates.

The deadline for applications is Friday, April 23, 2010. Winners will be announced at the Awards Show on Thursday, May 20, 2010 at the Crowne Plaza in Cromwell, CT.

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.

Rob Branham was a long time broadcaster and sales executive in CT. Rob did on-air work at WPOP, WWYZ, and other stations in CT. He was an Account Executive at WDRC, WPOP, WFSB, WTNH and WTIC TV. Rob was liked and respected by all that knew him. He was a caring, honest, fun-loving individual who regularly went out of his way to help others – he inspired his colleagues in the Advertising industry. In the early 90's Rob was diagnosed with leukemia. He had a successful bone marrow transplant in the summer of 1993 but complications set in and he passed away in October of that year.
