Why donate ?

Our desire is to bridge the gap between aspiring students who can afford the fees of a hospitality education and those who can’t. Investing in hospitality education has a far-reaching positive impact that goes beyond the personal success of students. Hospitality management and tourism education contributes to generating inclusive and sustainable economic growth, and with its highly transferable skills, plays an important role in the economy of the 21 st century touching many types of industry.

There is no greater gift than the opportunity for a student to pursue his dreams through higher education. As a donor to the Foundation, you will receive the following:

A certificate of donation for tax deductions.
Annual report of the Foundation informing you of the Foundation’s achievements and the figures of the scholarships for each academic year.
All scholarships are advertised on the Foundation website and by the partner university or college.

How will the Foundation carry out my wishes?

The Foundation staff may work with you to create a customized written donation agreement that reflects the purpose of the scholarship and recipient criteria, and it outlines the responsibilities of the Foundation in awarding the scholarship.

What is the difference between a scholarship and a honorary loan?

Scholarships give the student a fixed amount of money, without the obligation to repay the funds.

Honorary loans lend the student a fixed amount of money, with the obligation to repay the loan upon completion of their studies.

Will I meet my scholarship recipients?

The Foundation strives to create opportunities for donors and scholarship recipients to meet. We understand that it gives donors profound personal satisfaction to meet the students whose education they made possible, and the students are often eager to thank and meet their benefactors.

May I have input into the selection of a recipient?

Scholarship donors do not usually have input into the selection of a recipient; however, they may suggest base criteria to be used when selecting the recipient.
