Today we have in fact two splendid reasons to celebrate. Most importantly that, already in the first year, we were able to provide 30 Bachelor's degree programmes for the SIRIUS scholarship award campaign due to a most generous grant from our member Lindsey Ueberroth, and that we can also honour some of the most accomplished professionals in our industry by bestowing them with the SIRIUS Academy Merit Award.
Each year, a panel of Academy members selects the winners of the SIRIUS Academy Scholarship & Merit Awards, and this endorsement makes the accolades arguably the most coveted in the global hospitality industry.
