Scholarship Recipients
"I'm so grateful to the HANYC for lessening the burden of pursuing an education! The scholarship makes a great difference in being able to afford books, supplemental materials for classes, and my student meal plan. Thanks to the HANYC, I can focus on my classes and other academic and extracurricular opportunities!"

Alexandra Chase
2018 Recipient, Washington University"The scholarship that I received from the HANYC was instrumental in allowing me to attend a school that offered a great business program and numerous career paths in my field of interest. This scholarship has been invaluable to my success in college so far, as it has helped me pay for numerous academic expenses, such as tuition, textbooks and other required class materials."

Abner C. Withers, III
2018 Recipient, University of Central Florida"The Hotel Association of New York City Scholarship allowed me, an upcoming freshman at the time, an opportunity to compete with strong candidates, and to be rewarded financially for hard work. In the midst of exponentially high educational expenses, it allowed me to be sanguine; to reaffirm myself that there are those out there acknowledging young students who persevere and strive for higher academic avenues."

Jacob Wirshba
2015 Recipient, Binghamton University (SUNY)"The Hotel Association of New York City’s College Scholarship Program provides more than financial assistants to young students. It provides a sense of stability for young minds to take on not just the academic challenges of undergraduate work, but navigating disciplines and majors and deciding for themselves what is most interesting and stimulating. Without the financial comfort HANYC provided for me, I’m not sure if I would have had the courage and confidence to explore other fields, obtain a true liberal arts education, and ultimately find my true passion in music composition."
