During the year under review, the Trustees awarded funding to Hospitality Industry Trust (HIT), a registered charity, whose remit includes the awarding of grants to FE and HE Colleges in Scotland for the provision of bursaries to students of hospitality whether from Scotland or beyond. The purpose of the project is to support individual hospitality industry students in cases of hardship both financially and with equipment, which they otherwise could not afford to purchase. The bursaries help prevent a situation where individuals have to give up their studies for financial reasons and therefore be a loss to the industry. The Tourism Framework for Change publication emphasises the critical need for well-trained and motivated people to enter the workforce in what is now one of the only sustainable industries in Scotland. Recruitment and even more so retention are key.


The Trust’s grant, together with funds from other sources, enabled HIT to award grants to 28 FE and HE establishments in Scotland. This was the largest bursary award in HIT’s 14 year existence.


Table 2 below shows the geographical breakdown of the grants awarded directly to schools, FE and HE establishments during the year under review, together with a comparison of the previous two years.
