Vern McGinnis AMA Scholarship Fund
This scholarship was established by Vern McGinnis. During a 10 year stint as chair of the COB Advisory Council he broadened and deepened his relationship with the College of Business and the University administration. His close ties to the University sparked the idea for the Vern McGinnis AMA Scholarship. Early in his career Vern joined the American Marketing Association Central Illinois Chapter and the national AMA organization. As president-elect he had the privilege of presenting the new Illinois State University AMA Chapter with their charter of affiliation. This scholarship provides financial support for a junior or senior with an interest in marketing demonstrated, in part, by active membership in the Illinois State University AMA chapter. If the ISU AMA chapter no longer exists, the award may be given to an active participant in any of the COB Registered Student Organizations.
