Don't think your GPA or financial need is high enough?

at least one that's right for you.

Apply online today at www.ahlef.org. Just remember, the application deadline is
May 1.

Am I eligible?
AH&LEF offers a wide array of scholarship opportunities - available to incoming freshmen through graduate
students. Some are earmarked specifically for current hotel employees and others for minorities. A few have minimum GPA requirements while others are open to
full or part-time students. All require enrollment in a hospitality management degree program.

Is it worth my time?
More than $400,000 is budgeted in 2010 to award to a few hundred students. Scholarship awards range
from $500 to $5,000, and that money never needs to be paid back like a loan. It only takes a few minutes to apply. Wouldn't you say it's worth your time?

How will I be evaluated?
You are not judged on one factor alone. You'll be evaluated on academics, related-work experience,
extracurricular activities, financial need, honors, and personal attributes.

If that's not enough, you get more.
Awardees of an AH&LEF scholarship receive a free student membership to the American Hotel & Lodging
Association (AH&LA) valued at $45, planting you at the center of the industry with access to all the news,
information, and events that the nation's leading hotel companies rely on.

AH&LEF continues its support even
after you graduate.
You'll be eligible to join the Scholars Alumni Association (SAA), a close-knit group of scholarship awardees who act as vital connections down the road.
Active SAA members can continue their free membership with AH&LA, valued at $500, in addition to admission to AH&LA's Under 30 Gateway to help build their hospitality careers.
