Applications are now open for HIT Scotland’s 2026 scholarships, offering hospitality professionals across the country the chance to develop new skills, gain fresh insight and broaden their industry knowledge.
The long-running programme is designed to support individuals at all levels who have committed to a career in hospitality, from supervisors and spa practitioners to chefs, front-of-house staff and senior managers. Successful applicants will have the opportunity to experience best practice, explore emerging trends and refresh their thinking through tailored learning experiences in the UK and abroad.
Scholarships are available across a wide range of topics, including people management, sales, technology, whisky appreciation, and more. Candidates with a specific development goal can also apply for the Frank Mullen Bespoke Scholarship, which supports tailored professional learning.
Applicants are encouraged to apply early and provide clear, detailed responses outlining how the opportunity will benefit both their personal development and their wider team or organisation.
