Consider some of the comments made by past CLIA Dollars for Scholars Scholarship recipients:

California Lodging Investment Conference Scholarship Recipient Chance Albee: Thank you so much again for the award, this has helped so much with my tuition fees and allowing me to finish obtaining my degree from SJSU. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for the CLIA.  I'm forever grateful to the association for all it's done for me!

Central Coast of California Hospitality Scholarship Winner Allison Lee: I want to thank you so much for your generosity. I am extremely honored to have been one of the recipients for the CLIA scholarship. By receiving this scholarship, it will really help me enable my pursuits towards finishing a bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Management at Cal Poly Pomona, and it will contribute to the logistics of hopefully working an internship with Marriott this coming summer.

Thank you for coordinating and hosting such a wonderful Award Ceremony! It was lovely to be in the presence of people who have a “heart for hospitality.” I am very excited for the future, and grateful for all your help and support in my advances to becoming an inspiring leader and yet a humble caretaker within this industry. Thank you again for all that you are doing.

Brighton Management LLC Scholarship Recipient Karen Ronney: Thank you again for the scholarship. It makes a world of difference. I am grateful tor the help as I am excited to transition to a new career focus in hospitality.It is especially well-timed as I have three daughters, who are all in colleges across the country; Montana, Illinois and Pennsylvania. Hence, my Graduate Degree in Hospitality at San Diego State University is a 4th college tuition in the family.  However, setting an example of being a life-long learner and following your passion is really important.
