AHLA
Foundation, the charitable arm of the American Hotel and Lodging
Association has launched a new platform to streamline its scholarship
application process. The platform not only improves the user experience but
includes a built-in eligibility assessment that allows students to access every
Foundation-hosted opportunity for which they qualify.
In addition, the new system will allow students to apply for
multiple scholarship opportunities in one application.
Through the generous support of individual donors and
corporations, The Foundation has contributed nearly $17 million to eligible
students across the United States to date, continuing its long-time support of
rising hospitality talent.
“The AHLA Foundation
has been committed to supporting hospitality students for 70 years,” said Anna
Blue, President of AHLA Foundation. “Increasing access to resources and
opportunities is a critical investment in the future talent of our industry."
The AHLA Foundation Academic Scholarship Program includes
funds provided by the AHLAF General Campaign, AHLA Foundation Hospitality 2000
Campaign, Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS), AHLAF New Century Fund,
the National Restaurant Association, John Clifford Memorial Fund, Cecil B. Day
