Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I have to wait until my sophomore year to apply?
No. Hospitality business freshmen are welcome to apply.
- I was awarded a summer scholarship for the education abroad trip to China, but I had to cancel my trip. Will you transfer that award to the current semester?
No. If the specific purpose of the scholarship award is for education abroad, and you did not go, then you forfeit the award.
- Why do I have to write a thank-you letter after receiving a scholarship, and why is it necessary to have it proofed?
It is a common business courtesy to write a thank-you letter to acknowledge assistance given you. Doing so builds a good rapport with business leaders and sponsors. Besides, it’s just good manners. In addition, our sponsors read your letters and often comment on them. Sending out a letter that is properly formatted and grammatically correct is a reflection of your high standards and those of The School.
