The Travel Office Local Adventures Scholarship

The Travel Office Local Adventures Scholarship is a $1,000 award for undergraduate students to share their experiences exploring their college city. The scholarship is offered by a family-owned travel business that values travel, excursions, and entertainment as integral to strengthening communities. Students are asked to reflect on how they have explored their new environment since starting their studies, how their view of their city has changed, how civic engagement promotes community, and how they find local entertainment. The scholarship aims to inspire students to engage with their city's culture, history, and attractions, whether they are studying locally or in a new place. The award is available yearly and is non-renewable, with funds sent directly to the winner's college or university to be applied to qualified educational expenses including tuition, fees, books, and on-campus room and board.
