The next generation of industry innovators is learning the advertising profession today. The Advertising Education Sponsorship (AES) program was created to improve the quality of advertising education.
In a variety of ways, it supports academic and practical opportunities that transform bright students into brilliant creative thinkers:
- Faculty & Institution Grants
- Student Scholarships
- Funding for College-Level Competitions
Each year, AAF’s National Student Advertising Competition (NSAC) provides college advertising students with an opportunity to practice what they’ve learned and develop a strategic campaign for a corporate sponsor. AES supports this challenging competition by assisting with student team travel and other expenses at the district-level.
