What scholarship?

Terry Baer, a lifelong supporter and contributor of AAF-Ad Club St. Louis, is fondly remembered through the Ad Club St. Louis Scholarship, in memory of Terry Baer, dedicated to acknowledging aspiring college students seeking a career in the advertising profession.

More on Terry and the Scholarship Application...

Terry led a successful career as Corporate Director for The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company. He also managed Black-Tie Saint Louis, the publication which covered St. Louis society affairs and events. Additionally, he was an heir to the old Stix, Baer & Fuller, the St. Louis- based department store chain that operated from 1892 to 1984. Terry was also committed to the regional advertising community – initially joining the Ad Club as a Lamplighter – it’s a group of young emerging advertising professionals. Today, Lamplighters are known as AD2 – continuing the tradition of bridging newcomers with seasoned advertising professionals.
