Past Recipents
“As a two-time Joe Perdue scholarship recipient and 2018 Kendall scholarship recipient, I fully appreciate the value of these programs funded by The Club Foundation. My career aspirations formed at a young age and without the financial support of The Club Foundation, I would not be where I am today. From the financial assistance I received, I was able to put myself through college, attend distant conferences, achieve my CCM designation, and help fund my dream. As a result, I've recently become a general manager of a private club. I am incredibly grateful for the generous support of the Club Foundation and encourage everyone to give back to those future leaders most in need. I am living proof that your donation makes a difference and I’m forever grateful for the invaluable opportunities I have received through The Club Foundation.”

The Faculty Internship program is designed specifically for hospitality faculty members to enhance the club management component of their existing hospitality curricula through an in-depth orientation at the Club Management Association of America headquarters followed by an opportunity to shadow club managers in their local area. Faculty Research Grants are also provided to hospitality faculty members that focus their efforts on issues facing the club industry today.
The Faculty Internship program is currently being revamped. We anticipate making applications available for the 2026 program year and will send out broader notification to our faculty contact lists at that time. If you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 703-739-9500.
Description: The Club Foundation Faculty Internship Program was launched in 1995 with the goal of increasing club management expertise among faculty members in established college and university hospitality programs. As faculty interns, faculty members receive an in-depth look at the private club industry through a three-day orientation held in conjunction with the annual CMAA National Student Education Conference. Following this comprehensive orientation, the interns return to their respective schools to complete the in-club components of their internship. This provides them with a hands-on and behind-the-scenes look at the private club industry.
Application Due Date: August 1
Description: The Club Foundation Faculty Research Grant Program maintains a goal of supporting Club Industry Research projects and efforts on the part of hospitality faculty members of accredited, four-year institutions, with established hospitality degree programs.
