2023 HSMAI Austin Chapter Terrell Abbott Scholarship
The purpose of this program is to provide scholarships to students or veterans pursuing an Associate, Baccalaureate, or Graduate degrees in Hospitality Sales & Marketing or Revenue Management.
Terrell William Abbott demonstrated in his short, but impactful 37 years that when you lead a purposeful life, it positively impacts the lives of those around you. As a founding board member of HSMAI Austin and former owner of RegStep Technologies, Terrell helped build a professional website, event invitations, and an unparalleled registration process. In the first year, he helped create a record first year membership growth and event attendance that has yet to be met or exceeded by any other North American chapter. As a former student of Austin Community College and a graduate of Texas State University, Terrell continued to be a student of what made organizations great and enjoyed learning best practices from others’ experiences. Unfortunately, Terrell’s time with us was cut short on January 22, 2014 in a tragic car accident.
This scholarship program is a wonderful tribute to Terrell and representative of HSMAI Austin’s vision of mentoring, connecting, developing and encouraging the next generation of great hospitality leaders that will ensure Austin remains a formidable force within the industry. The HSMAI Austin Chapter is delighted to extend (3) $1,000 Scholarship to an eligible student.
Scholarship applications will be accepted until March 15, 2023.
