AH&LEF Incoming Freshman Scholarship
In 2008 AH&LEF is created a new scholarship exclusively for incoming freshman to encourage enrollment in hospitality-related undergraduate programs and attract more students to the lodging industry. The program is being funded from scholarship monies set aside from AH&LEF’s last major capital giving fundraising initiative, the New Century Campaign.
Eligibility Criteria
• Must be an incoming freshman for the 2013 fall semester.
• Enrolled in at least 12 credit hours for the upcoming fall and spring semesters.
• Have a minimum overall GPA of 2.0.
• Be a U.S. citizen or permanent U.S. resident.
• Preference will be given to high school graduates of the Hospitality & Tourism Management Program (HTMP) or Lodging Management Program (LMP).
Scholarship Awards
Baccalaureate Majors - $2,000 full-time enrollment
Associate Majors - $1,000 full-time enrollment
Lodging Management Scholarships are Self Nominated, which means students do not have to attend a particular school or be nominated by their respective schools. Applicants must complete all sections of the AH&LEF Scholarship Application. AH&LEF academic scholarship applications are only accepted from January 1 to May 1 each year. Please note that any applications received from May 2 through December 31 will not be reviewed because the information provided will be outdated for the next school year.

“I am so pleased to receive your scholarship. 'Thank you' isn’t enough to have been
given such a blessing. I am extremely grateful because through this
scholarship I have a chance at pursuing my dream. I will not only have a better
education, but a well-paying job where I can give back to my
community. I will be able to encourage younger generations, as well as the
Hispanic community, to go beyond and pursue a career.”
