Scholarships

The Colorado Hospitality Scholarship Program is inclusive of two different scholarship programs.  These scholarships are designed to help support students who are working a minimum of 16 hours/week in a Colorado hotel while pursuing degrees from accredited universities, colleges, or trade schools.  The application window for the 2024/2025 school year has closed and more than $118,000 has been awarded to students throughout the State who are working in member hotels while pursuing a degree or professional certificate.
