item summa iKecommendatiion:
The City of Miami Beach Tourism and Hospitality Scholarship Program began in 2003 in partnership with
the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), SMG and Centerplate. Contributions to the
City's scholarship program were contractually required of the three (3) entities. During the GMCVB's
contract renewal in 2004, the requirement was removed from their contract. As you know, in September of
2008, the City replaced SMG with Global Spectrum. Therefore, Global Spectrum and Centerplate currently
partner with the City on this program. Global Spectrum contributes $12,500 annually and Centerplate
contributes $20,000 annually. There is also a carry forward balance of $24,650 from 2009. Therefore, the
City currently has $57,150 available for this scholarship program. After the 2010 awards are made, there
will be $43,600 (plus future contributions) available.
The scholarship program is geared toward Miami Beach residents or graduates of Miami Beach Senior
High School who enroll in post-secondary education and have expressed interest in the food and
hospitality industry (as demonstrated by coursework and extracurricular activities). Since the inception of
the program, $186,400, which includes the current scholarship recommendation of $13,550, has been
awarded to more than 30 different Miami Beach students. Nine students are recommended for
scholarships this year. There were a total of eleven (11) applications, but two (2) applicants failed to meet
