Leading managers in the hospitality industry are invited to submit applications for the 2017 Master Innholder Scholarship programme.

Jonathan Raggett, chairman of the Master Innholders, said: "We are keen to receive scholarship applications from a wide breadth of the UK hotel industry. The Master Innholders is committed to the industry, its future, and to developing the people who work in it.

"It doesn't matter whether you run a B&B in Dorset, a boutique hotel in Brighton or a five-star hotel in Yorkshire, we want to hear from you."

To date, more than 200 candidates have successfully completed the Master Innholder Scholarships. Scholarship graduates are invited to join the St Julian Scholars alumni body who take an active role in ongoing personal and professional development.

The deadline for applications is 30 June 2016.
