ADCRAFT SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION

Meet the 2026 Adcraft Scholarship Foundation Recipients!

Celebrating the next generation of creative thinkers, storytellers, and future advertising professionals.
None of this would be possible without the collective support and generosity of our members, sponsors, and community.

This year, in addition to the Adcraft Past Presidents Scholarship and the Doner Adcraft Scholarship, we proudly honored two important individuals in our community through special memorial scholarships: the Nicci Leichtman Memorial Scholarship, presented by SMZ, and the Paul "Teddy" Pearse Scholarship.

Since 1961, Adcraft has been awarding scholarships, and we are proud to have reached an incredible milestone of $1,000,000 awarded in scholarship funds over the years.

DIVERSITY IN THE D SCHOLARSHIP

Adcraft Detroit in partnership with the Detroit marketing community is committed to supporting diversity and inclusion within the Detroit creative marketing industry. Through this partnership, we will support minority Juniors and Seniors by providing them with mentorship, financial support and experience gained through internships.

Scholarship funding, mentorship and internships will be provided for this 1-year program by VML.
