Scholarship Committee
This committee serves as the primary fundraiser for the CFHLA Foundation and our CFHLA Gives Program, which supports hospitality student scholarships and educational grants. All proceeds secured from national and local auctions, in addition to direct monetary donations, are utilized to support CFHLA Hospitality student scholarships and educational grants.
In 2025, Scholarship Committee Members secured a minimum of $2,500 each in monetary and/or auction donations for the CFHLA Gives Program. These funds will help support the scholarships and educational grants that will be announced at the CFHLA Gives Scholarship Luncheon.
