Almost A Quarter Million Dollars in Scholarships Awarded

Excitement and applause were in the air in the Darden Auditorium on November 12, 2019, at UCF Rosen College of Hospitality Management as more than 100 students were awarded a total of $241,700 in scholarships to further their education.  Family, friends, faculty and staff were in attendance at the ceremony, along with donors and industry partners such as Bloomin’ Brands, First Watch, IAAPA, LMG/Entertainment Technology Partners, and  ever-generous college benefactor Harris Rosen who spoke to the students about achieving their goals and presented scholarships.

Individual scholarship amounts ranged from $1,000 to $12,500. Scholarships are distributed over two semesters, half for the current or fall semester, and the other half for the spring semester. A reception in the Disney Dining Room followed the scholarship award ceremony. We congratulate all of the students and thank our generous donors and partners for their support.
