"Thank you for the
Academy of Hospitality and Tourism
Advisory Board Scholarship!
Being part of this program has honestly helped me grow tremendously. It’s given me a real look into what the hospitality industry is all about, and it’s helped me come out of my shell. I used to be super shy and quiet, but now I’m way more confident, more helpful, and not afraid to speak up.
I’m really excited to keep going on this path and study
Hospitality and Tourism this fall.
Thanks again — I really appreciate it!"
