The Washington State University School of Hospitality Business Management and Fire & Vine Hospitality recently established the Fire & Vine Scholarship in Hospitality, awarding $10,000 each to seven students interested in hospitality careers.
The scholarship aims to give underrepresented students a pathway to careers into an industry that lacks black, indigenous and people of color (BIPOC).
“The BIPOC community is underrepresented in the hospitality industry, and we are excited to partner with Fire & Vine Hospitality to help change that,” said Bob Harrington, director of the WSU School of Hospitality Business Management. “As a college, we are committed to giving underrepresented students equal opportunity to achieve academic and career success, and scholarships are a critical tool in that mission.”
Starting this fall, WSU Pullman students can earn a certificate in professional sales – helping them develop persuasive communication skills for a career in sales or another field.
