Destination & Travel Foundation Scholarships

Foundation scholarships are divided into two groups:

• One $4,000 graduate student scholarship:
• The National Council of Destination Organizations (NCDO) Graduate Scholarship
• Two $3,000 undergraduate awards including:
• The Ronald H. Brown Memorial Scholarship - named for the late U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary to encourage minority students to pursue travel and tourism industry-related degrees.
• Tourism Works for America Legacy Scholarship

To apply for a Foundation scholarship, you must be nominated by a department head in the field of travel and tourism. Winners are then selected by the Foundation scholarship selection committee based on several factors, including submitted essays on the topic, "What Segment of the Tourism Industry Interests You and Why."
