Details
- This scholarship focuses on broadening the number of traditionally underrepresented groups in the management and operation ranks of the transportation, travel and tourism industry.
- You must be a freshman, sophomore, junior, senior, or graduate student at an accredited University.
- You must have a declared major or course of study relevant to the travel and tourism industry. Travel and tourism encompass a varying range of professions from accounting to hospitality management and everything in between.

An impartial selection committee of educators is responsible for ranking and choosing the winners. Winners are judged on their high level of academic achievement, character, leadership, financial need, and commitment to advancing the transportation, travel, and tourism industry. Applicants affiliated with ABA-member companies receive additional consideration.
Award
The scholarship amount is $5,000.
