Applicants are full-time students who have demonstrated academic excellence, financial need and a commitment to leadership and service. By pairing financial support with skill-building opportunities and community connections, the Pathways to Success Program empowers future leaders to launch meaningful careers while contributing to a stronger, more inclusive tourism and hospitality industry.
