Professional Development
Scholarships
The Hospitality Foundation's Professional Development Scholarship
Program offers New York State Hospitality & Tourism Association
(NYSH&TA) member employees scholarships for professional development activities.
These activities include professional development courses
at colleges and universities, and certification courses through
the Educational Institute, of the American Hotel and Lodging
Association.
The program provides a scholarship award (50% activity costs
up to $1,000) to an employee of a NYSH&TA member property.
This will allow employees to improve their knowledge of any
subject to support their development in the hospitality industry,
while covering a portion of expenses accrued by the employee
and employer. As a result, the burden of individual contributions
may be lightened, though not necessarily eliminated.
Who is Eligible?
Employees of NYSH&TA members that have been employed for at least one year at that property
are eligible to apply for the professional development scholarship. |
