The Tourism Cares Spring Scholarship Review Committee selects the National Tour Association Scholarship recipients each year from hundreds of applicants. The scholarships are used to cover expenses for tuition, books, and educational fees only. In addition to offering the National Tour Association Academic Scholarships, Tourism Cares also offers the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) Academic and Professional Development Scholarships.
In the last 20 years, Tourism Cares has provided more than 450 students with scholarships and other awards valued at more than $1.5 million. Additional information about the Tourism Cares Student Programs, including scholarships, can be found on the website. Tourism Cares expects to post the 2010 Academic Scholarship offerings and application information on its website early 2010.
