Ed’s interest in providing scholarship funds to study marketing through international travel stemmed from his first trip abroad in the early 1960s. The Markham-Colegrave International Scholarship operates in cooperation with the Colegrave Seabrook Foundation International Scholarship in London, England. Each year there will be an exchange of students between the U.S. and Europe, alternating between the two countries.
