PRINCE FREDERICK, Md.-- DirectMail.com (www.DirectMail.com),
a leading provider of integrated direct marketing solutions, announced today the presentation of the
John Swain Memorial Scholarship by the Direct Marketing Association of Washington-Education Foundation
(DMAW-EF). The presentation took place at the DMAW's annual Best of Direct Gala on December 2 in
Washington, D.C.
The scholarship, which was established in 1986, is named in honor of John Swain, co-founder of
DirectMail.com and a longtime DMAW member. It is awarded to an undergraduate in a mid-Atlantic
college or university who demonstrates academic excellence and a desire to work in the field of
marketing. The 2010 recipient is Faith Albers from Christopher Newport University. Past recipients
have come from schools such as American University, Catholic University, James Madison University
and Salisbury University, among others.
"For 25 years, the Swain family has generously provided funding for the John Swain Scholarship
to encourage students with an interest in direct marketing and who have demonstrated academic
excellence to continue their studies in the field," says Karen Depew, Executive Administrator for
DMAW-EF. "Faith Albers of Christopher Newport University is one of those bright students we hope will
choose a successful career in our industry."
Kirk Swain, Principal, DirectMail.com and son of John Swain, says, "Through the John Swain Memorial
Scholarship we aim to attract the best and brightest newcomers to the direct marketing industry.
Each year, under DMAW-EF's able leadership, the number of scholarship applicants grows, as does the
quality of their qualifications. This year's recipient is no exception. We congratulate Faith Albers
on her selection and are proud to support DMAW-EF's work."
