UMAPP Partners with the Promotional Products Education Foundation (PPEF) to manage our college scholarship program.

We offer a $1,250 one-year collegiate scholarship through a competitive application process available to all staff of UMAPP member companies and their immediate children.  Membership in UMAPP will be verified with PPEF before they choose the scholarship recipient. 

Why PPEF?  The Promotional Products Education Foundation is an industry-based educational, charitable, and nonprofit organization.   PPEF awards college scholarships to students who have a parent working in the promotional products industry or who are working for a company in the industry. 

Deadline to apply: March 15, 2027 

• High school seniors should complete the 4-year application (which will enter them for the UMAPP one-year, $1,250 scholarship as well as a PPEF scholarship. Type "UMAPP" when prompted for your regional). 
  
  
• Current college students should complete the one-year application (and type "UMAPP" as their regional when prompted). In completing the application, you are applying for a PPEF scholarship as well as the UMAPP scholarship. A person can win both.  

Membership in UMAPP will be verified with PPEF before the scholarship award is given.  

Visit PPEF for more information. UMAPP partners with PPEF to categorize UMAPP members into a group for our named scholarship. Once membership is verified in our Association, PPEF chooses the candidate to be awarded the scholarship.
