Scholarships
Your Hospitality Future
The Charles H. Selman Scholarship (CHS) Fund was created in 1995 by the CHARR Board of Directors to benefit committed Alaskans dedicated to excellence in Alaska’s hospitality industry.
Named after long-time CHARR member Charlie Selman, the program honors his significant contributions made to our industry. Since then, the CHS Scholarship has awarded nearly $300,000 to deserving students and continues to grow.
In October 2002, the CHS Scholarship Program was entrusted to the newly formed Alaska CHARR Educational Fund, Inc. This change allows CHARR to extend our scope of giving and support to our industry.
