Hotel group funds scholarship
To encourage Baltimore high school students to pursue careers in the hospitality and tourism industry, the Hilton Hotels Corp. has created a $3 million college scholarship fund, making good on a pledge it made in 2005 after it was chosen to operate the city-owned convention center hotel.
The scholarship aid has been earmarked for students at the National Academy Foundation - in the Digital Harbor High School complex. They will be eligible for the scholarships beginning in the 2008-2009 school year. Hilton has pledged to make $200,000 available to the students annually over a 15-year period, city and Hilton officials said yesterday.
I hope this is a model for other corporations in other cities to follow, said William Holland, Hiltons vice president of human resources succession planning.
