Nonprofit organization Tourism Cares is awarding $70,500 in academic scholarships to 55 travel, tourism and hospitality students in the United States and Canada.
These scholarships are funded by Tourism Cares and by donations from the National Tour Association, ASTA and IATA.
The scholarships are awarded each year to students pursuing undergraduate or graduate degrees in travel, tourism or hospitality at accredited colleges and universities.
The scholarship recipients are invited to participate in Tourism Cares’ mentoring program, which gives students the opportunity to shadow professional mentors, build their professional network and attend industry workshops.
