Yes, if you're going to a graduate school. However, we can't make checks payable to a for-profit organization like a portfolio school, only to another non-profit educational institution.

The Advertising Education Foundation of Houston (AEFH) awards scholarships to college sophomores, juniors and seniors pursuing undergraduate or post graduate degrees in advertising, communications, interactive marketing, journalism, radio/tv, commercial art, public relations or related fields. Students attending colleges and universities located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas, the four states in which AAF-District 10 is located, are eligible to apply. Preference is given to students who indicate a desire to join the Houston communications or integrated marketing community after graduation.

The deadline for receiving all applications is February 15, 2013.

The Scholarship review committee consists of the twelve Board Members of AEFH, and the seven-member Advisory Council, who are senior professional executives in advertising and related communication firms in Houston.

Yes you're welcomed to attend, if you simply pay the luncheon fee. The recipients' immediate family will be invited to attend.
