The American Hotel & Lodging Educational Foundation (AH&LEF), the not-for-profit affiliate of the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AH&LA), awarded 209 scholarships, totaling $297,000, through three of its core programs – the Annual Scholarship Grant, Incoming Freshman Scholarship, and Graduate Scholarship programs.
The Annual Scholarship Grant Program, the Foundation's biggest program, is co-administered with 85 universities and colleges. In 2011, 194 students, nominated by AH&LEF-affiliated schools, received $244,000 in funds. The program is funded from proceeds of the Americas Lodging Investment Summit (ALIS); the Foundation's Annual Giving Campaign; previous AH&LEF capital campaigns, as well as annual special events, including the Big Apple Auction, Golf Classic, and Hospitality Heritage Dinner Tribute, as well as the following scholarship funds:

This is the fourth year for two new AH&LEF scholarships – incoming hospitality management freshmen and graduate students. Seven incoming freshmen received scholarships totaling $13,000, and eight graduate students received $5,000 scholarships. Funding for the freshman scholarships is provided by monies set aside from AH&LEF's last major capital fundraising initiative, the New Century Campaign, and the graduate program is funded from a portion of the ALIS proceeds.
