MasterCard-U21Global Scholarship Program to Empower Women in Travel and Tourism

With the coming of age of Asia, Africa and the Middle Eastern markets as tourist destinations and women as an emerging economic force, MasterCard Worldwide and U21Global have launched the second year of the MasterCard-U21Global scholarship program for women in travel and tourism.

The program was launched last year with the intent to empower working women professionals in the travel and tourism sector to stay ahead of industry trends and realize their full potential.

The program comprises 20 scholarships for the U21Global Executive Diploma of Business Administration and is intended for graduates who want to develop skills in the management and marketing of tourism and travel.

The course can articulate into the University of Nottingham MSc in Tourism and Travel Management which has been developed by Christel DeHaan Tourism and Travel Research Institute, a part of Nottingham University Business School, and U21Global, a leader in quality graduate online education for working executives and professionals.

Organizations from the travel and tourism industry across Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa will be invited to nominate female employees who they believe will most benefit from the learning and exposure offered by such a scholarship.

MasterCard and U21Global will institute a distinguished panel of judges to choose the 20 worthy recipients.
