Offers 50% Scholarship For Children Of FHRAI Members & For Children Of Employees Working In Member Establishments

India’s apex Hospitality Association and the voice of the industry - Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI) has announced a scholarship program for students interested in pursuing a 3-year B.Sc. in Hospitality and Hotel Administration from the FHRAI Institute of Hospitality Management (FHRAI-IHM), Greater Noida. Children of employees of member establishments of FHRAI and its direct members will be awarded a 50 per cent waiver in tuition fees on a merit and first-come-first basis. FHRAI has announced the scholarship programme with the aim to offer students an opportunity to pursue world-class education and to increase the availability of quality manpower for the industry by facilitating affordable education from India’s leading hospitality management institute. 

FHRAI-IHM is the first and only private institution run by an Industry Association that is affiliated with the National Council for Hotel Management & Catering Technology (NCHMCT), an autonomous body under the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India. 

“A qualified and committed workforce is the key for hospitality to grow and prosper. Today, the industry faces a dual challenge with eroding the number of candidates pursuing hospitality education and a higher attrition rate in employment. One of FHRAI’s stated objectives is to run institutes to provide education and training, both formal and job oriented, in the field of hospitality management, technology and professional education to meet the requirement of India’s hospitality, tourism and allied Industries. With the scholarship scheme, FHRAI is making efforts at offering world-class hospitality education to deserving students at affordable costs,” says Mr Gurbaxish Singh Kohli, Vice President, FHRAI.
