Ten Joe Perdue Scholarships Awarded
One priority for The Club Foundation is to provide support for students interested in starting a career in the club industry. Through the Joe Perdue Scholarship, The Club Foundation offers students around the nation the opportunity to apply for tuition dollars to support their hospitality studies. The scholarship is named after long-time CMAA professional Joe Perdue, CCM, CHE, who was an asset and powerhouse in clubs, at CMAA, and at the University of Nevada. He served on various boards throughout the industry including The Club Foundation Board of Governors. Most notably, he was responsible for initiating and developing CMAA’s Business Management Institute (BMI).
This year, ten undergraduate students seeking to build their careers in the club industry are each being awarded $5,000 for direct support of tuition and fees at their respective institutions.
