The PromoKitchen board established this fund to honor our friend and founding PromoKitchen chef, Tee Hamilton, who lost her battle with cancer in December 2020.

Tee was a tireless advocate for the creative professional in the promotional products industry, and we are intent on continuing her crusade in this area.

The Tee Hamilton Creative Scholarship was created to support promotional product industry professionals in their pursuit of creative or business education by paying up to 80% towards courses and conferences.

We want to reduce the financial barriers associated with participating in continuing education.

Why does this matter? Because Tee believed that industry professionals who bettered themselves through education could create a strong and lasting legacy for themselves and the industry. 

Here’s how it works:

Applications will be accepted between February 22 and March 26, 2021.

Applicants who are chosen will have up to 80% of the cost of the course or conference paid for.

The course or conference must be completed or attended before February 2022.

The recipient of the scholarship will be required to follow up with PromoKitchen after the course is completed or conference is attended, by sharing your experience with the community and how this was able to benefit you in your promotional products career. This could take the form of a podcast or written interview, video, blog, etc

The winner will be announced at our virtual Spring Fling Mixer on April 8, 2021.
