Tourism Scholarship
Women In Tourism includes a scholarship for a NAF (National Academy Foundation) High School student interested in a career in hospitality.
Congrats to our 2024 scholarship winner: Samikshya Pokhrel:
Being awarded the 3rd Annual Women in Tourism Scholarship 2024 is deeply meaningful to me. It’s more than just financial support—it’s a powerful affirmation that my aspirations in the tourism industry are valid and worth pursuing.
This scholarship has eased some of the financial burdens of my education and has given me renewed motivation to work toward creating meaningful, inclusive experiences in tourism. It’s incredibly empowering to feel seen and supported as a young woman striving to make a positive impact.
Thank you for believing in me and helping me take another step closer to achieving my dreams!
