Education Marketing Professional Development Grant
The Institutes' Higher Education Market Interest Group (MIG) is committed to the professional development of all marketers working with and within higher education.
As a part of that commitment the group has established up to four annual scholarships for marketers to assist their professional development through study trips and / or research.
