Eduardo Perez, a Florida State University alumnus leader in Hispanic and multicultural media marketing, established The Perez Family Graduate Fellowship in Multicultural and Hispanic Marketing Communication.

This fellowship will be awarded to outstanding graduate students seeking a master’s or doctoral degree focusing on multicultural or Hispanic marketing communication. Applicants may be either incoming or continuing graduate students whose scholarly activities align with the Center for Hispanic Marketing Communication.

“I’m honored to have the opportunity to support outstanding graduate students with this Fellowship,” said Perez who serves on The Center for Hispanic Marketing Communication Advisory and the CCI Leadership boards. “My years at FSU (’85-’89) set me on a path of lifelong success, and my desire is to give back to the great institution that has given me so much. I have been a strong supporter of The Center and therefore focused my support on this fantastic and trailblazing program.”

The fellowship will fund scholarships, leadership opportunities, student productions, research, costs to attend conferences, and other related activities that will prepare students for success.
