Caribbean nationals aspiring to study tourism or hospitality and language training are being offered the opportunity to secure scholarships from the Caribbean Tourism Organisation (CTO).
The region’s tourism development agency, through its scholarship programme, the CTO Foundation, is awarding scholarships of up to $12,000 to individuals wanting to study tourism or hospitality at the post graduate level, and language training for persons already working in the tourism sector.
In addition, the CTO Foundation is offering study grants of up to US$2,500 to individuals pursing tourism/hospitality studies at the certificate, diploma, associate degree or first degree level. Studies can be pursued both within and outside the Caribbean region.
“The Foundation selects individuals who demonstrate high levels of achievement and leadership both within and outside the classroom and who express a strong interest in making a positive contribution to Caribbean tourism,” said Bonita Morgan, CTO’s director of regional human resource development.
