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
• 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 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any applications received from May 2 through December 31 will not be reviewed because the information provided will be outdated for the next school year.
