Have you heard? You no longer have to be a high school senior to apply for the chance of a lifetime- a full-ride scholarship and entrance into ECF’s Future Leaders of Hospitality mentoring program. Applications are now being accepted for both High School Seniors AND currently UNLV Freshman and Sophomore. Help us spread the word and bring more future leaders into ECF.

The Epicurean Charitable Foundation (ECF) is an organization comprised of more than 20 top food/beverage and hospitality executives who are dedicated to enriching the lives of deserving local students passionate about a career in hospitality. For the first time ever, we are opening up our scholarship to current UNLV freshmen and sophomores who meet our application criteria.

In order to qualify for this full-ride, last dollar up to $35,000 UNLV scholarship opportunity, students must meet the following criteria:

• attend/attended a Clark County high school; cumulative GPA of 3.0
• must plan to attend/attending an accredited post-secondary institution as a full-time student following graduation
• must major in hotel management/hospitality/culinary management or related program
• must demonstrate financial need.

ECF selects its scholarship recipients based on academic ability, extracurricular achievements, personal background and financial need. ECF awards numerous academic scholarships annually to Clark County high school graduates. Scholarship recipients receive full-ride, last dollar financial support to UNLV or up to $48,000 to an out of state four year accredited college, that goes toward tuition, books and other fees. Students also benefit from the guidance and support of the Future Leaders of Hospitality Program, which pairs one student and board member together each year for the duration of the student’s education. The mentor provides guidance, support and assistance with jobs and internship placement upon graduation. This scholarship application closes on January 31, 2020. More Information can be found at: http://ecflv.org/
