Send a Student To Summit
Check the box to donate $60
We invite students from travel & tourism programs at our colleges and universities to attend the Monday programs of Texas Travel Summit at a discounted rate of $60.
Some students cannot afford the $60 rate. Through the generosity of our members, we have been able to offer student scholarships to enable those students to attend. So far this year, Wildcatter Ranch and Phillips Entertainment Inc. have generously donated $60 each so that two students can attend Summit.
