The annual scholastic award is for a minimum of $500. The scholarship money is awarded at the beginning of the Fall term to a designated hospitality student in order to help with tuition fees, books and supplies. The Scholarship Chair helps create the criteria for choosing the designated student. The process of choosing a student varies slightly from year to year but generally includes an application process and an essay requirement.
