Where to find hospitality scholarships for college students?

I'm interested in studying hospitality in college and was wondering if there are specific scholarships for this field. Any suggestions on organizations or programs that offer scholarships for hospitality students?

Definitely, there are many scholarships specifically for students interested in hospitality.

The National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF) provides scholarships for students planning to pursue a career in restaurant and foodservice management, which can overlap significantly with hospitality.

The Hospitality Sales and Marketing Association International (HSMAI) Foundation provides scholarships to students seeking a career in hospitality sales, marketing, and revenue optimization.

Remember to also check out local and state hospitality associations in your area - many of them offer scholarships for local students.

Finally, don't forget about general scholarships! Scholarships like the Coca-Cola Scholars Program or Dell Scholars Program may not be hospitality-specific, but they are available to any student planning to attend college, including those in the hospitality field.

In your search process, use scholarship databases such as Fastweb, Appily, and College Board's Scholarship section. These tools will help you locate various scholarships based on your intended field of study and other criteria like GPA, location, college year, etc.

Just make sure to apply as early as possible, keep your applications organized, and remember to submit all required documents before the deadlines! Good luck with your scholarship search!
