SARASOTA, FL – February 11, 2022 – Miles Partnership announced the opening of the application period for its annual scholarship program to the Southeast Tourism Society Marketing College®. Miles will award 14 scholarships for the 2022 session, selecting one tourism industry professional in each of the 14 STS member regions: Alabama, Arkansas, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. The 2022 application period for the Miles Scholarship Program for STS Marketing College will be open through Friday, March 18, 2022, at 5 p.m. ET.
Marketing College® is a continuing education program that is offered annually as a one-week intensive session. During the program, students will attend lectures and discussion groups, and have one-of-a-kind networking opportunities throughout the week. Courses are designed for both new and established tourism professionals and consist of an array of industry-specific topics that include market research, product development, economic impact, advocacy and branding. Marketing College® professors are seasoned industry members from across the U.S. who bring not only expertise, but real-world knowledge to the classroom. Courses will be held at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia, from June 5-10, 2022.
Students who complete all three years of Marketing College® (not necessarily in consecutive years, though STS does recommend it) will receive and be presented with a Travel Marketing Professional (TMP) certification at a special graduation ceremony at the STS annual meeting, STS Connections.
Miles is proud to be the Presenting Sponsor of Marketing College® and looks forward to awarding scholarships to a diverse group of tourism professionals to attend Marketing College® and continue their career development.
