Best Hospitality Degrees Scholarship

At Best Hospitality Degrees, we’re dedicated to helping students receive a quality education in hospitality management to build a successful career in today’s growing tourism industry. That’s why we’re proud to announce that we have created a $1,500 Best Hospitality Degrees Scholarship that will be awarded twice each year to deserving individuals pursuing a two-year associate’s or four-year bachelor’s degree in hospitality at accredited colleges. It’s our hope that this scholarship will help to finance rising tuition costs and lower the financial burden of pursuing a hospitality major for promising young students.

  • $1500 scholarship for associate’s or bachelor’s in hospitality majors.
  • Application Deadlines: April 30 and November 30
  • Available to citizens of the United States pursuing a degree in hospitality.

Whether you’re interested in managing a restaurant, resort, amusement park, cruise ship, or any other tourism-related complex, earning a degree in hospitality can be a great leap towards turning your career dreams into a reality. As the hospitality industry has grown into a $3.5 trillion business worldwide, graduates from accredited programs can find a number of in-demand and potentially lucrative positions in leading guest services. In fact, according to the United States Department of Labor, the tourism industry is poised to continue growing by 17 percent to generate around 273,700 jobs annually in America alone!

Since it’s clear that there’s a true need for more leaders to apply their management skills in the hospitality field, our goal is to make sure that no talented students are held back by the costs of higher education. The following is a complete overview of the qualifications required to be considered within our scholarship process each semester.
