Future Leaders Scholarship
The Australian Hotelier Future Leaders Scholarship, which was first launched in 2024, aims to help develop the next generation of leaders within the pubs sector.

The Future Leaders Scholarship is aimed at anyone currently working in an Assistant Venue Manager role, equivalent specialised role or junior group role (eg. Venue marketing manager, sous chef, events coordinator etc), in pubs across Australia, looking to further their career within the sector.
The Scholarship will reward the winning applicant’s critical thinking, problem solving and passion for the industry, with prizes that will help them to further their career.
