About The Education Foundation

Our 2010 scholarship application period is now closed.
Please visit after November 15 to access information for 2011.

The Caribbean Hotel & Tourism Association Education Foundation was established in 1987 as an independent non-profit organization offering tax-exempt status for donations. The charity offers scholarships and special assistance for the education of Caribbean tourism industry personnel and students pursuing tourism & hospitality careers. As part of its mission, the Education Foundation provides people throughout the Caribbean region with an awareness of the industry's varied career opportunities, as well as technical and professional development.

Today, the CHTA Education Foundation volunteer trustees administer one of the largest scholarship programs available in the Caribbean Hospitality & Tourism Industry. Funds for these scholarships and grants are generated from corporate sponsorships, benefit auctions & golf tournaments. We also encourage the co-sponsorship of scholarships through businesses from the Caribbean, National Hotel Associations and individual Resort sponsorship.
