MEMORANDUM
no.044-2069
TO: Commissioner Jerry Llbbin
FItoM: City Manager Jorge M. Gonzalez
DATE: August 10, 2009
SUBJECT: TOURISM AND HOSPITALITY SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The purpose of this memorandum is to address questions raised during our agenda review
on Tuesday, July 11, 2009. The City of Miami Beach Tourism and Hospitality Scholarship
Program began in 2003. The scholarship program is geared toward Miami Beach residents
or graduates of Miami Beach Senior High School who are enrolled or are planning to enroll
in post-secondary education and have expressed interest in the tourism, food or hospitality
industry (as demonstrated by coursework and extracurricular activities.)
At the start of each academic school year, applications are provided to the following schools:
• Miami Beach Senior High School
• Miami Dade College
• Florida International University
• University of Miami
Florida State University
• University of Florida
• University of Central Florida
• University of South Florida
• Florida Atlantic University
• Johnson and Whales
• City of Miami Beach Website
The application deadline is May 155. Once all applications are received, copies are sent to
representatives from Centerplate, Global Spectrum and the Greater Miami Convention and
Visitors Bureau. Those representatives meet with the City to review the applications and
recommend awards. Max Sklar, Tourism and Cultural Development Director, is the City
representative in this process. Applications are scored by considering economic need,
community service or civic involvement, internship experience within the food and hospitality
industry, secondary school enrollment, academics. and type ofuniversity/college (public or
private institution), which then determines award level.
For your reference, attached is a copy of the application, eligibility requirements and
screening process.
