BURSARY CASE STUDY
Fife College
Eight Fife College Tourism students benefited from a bursary awarded by the Hospitality Industry Trust (HIT) Scotland to encourage students with a bright future in the Scottish Hospitality and Tourism Industry with the aim of continuing to make Scotland an internationally renowned and quality destination.
Fife College used the bursary to fund scholarships judged on academic achievement, financial need and students’ commitment to studies and tourism in Scotland. As well as supporting the students financially the scholarships also recognise individual achievement and help to build student confidence.
