ABA Diversity Scholarships

Eligibility

ABA Diversity Scholarships, with an application deadline in April, offers one award in the amount of $5000. Restricted to those with financial need.

Description

The ABA Diversity Scholarship focuses on broadening the number of traditionally underrepresented groups in the management and operation ranks of the transportation, travel, and tourism industry. This scholarship is open to both ABA and Non-ABA Members. Applicants 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. In other words, please apply rather than ruling yourself out because of your major. Applicants must demonstrate their diversity (this includes varying cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, nationality, minorities, age, race, or ethnicity) to evaluators. High school transcripts or Secondary School Records are required for College Freshman and Sophomores, only, to apply. College or university transcripts are required for college sophomores, juniors, and seniors, only, to apply. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
