About the foundation

The Foundation HMSM itself reflects the deep social connection between the Hotel School and our community. We support prospective and current students of Hotel Management School Maastricht in reaching their full potential as future leaders in hospitality. The Foundation HMSM is a platform that gives students scholarships and grants to empower ambitious talents to grow, innovate, and learn. The scholarships are funded with donations from alumni, companies and friends of the institute. By donating you have the opportunity to take down barriers for talented students and stimulate diversity and innovation in the industry. What better way to make sure that you can continue to benefit from top talent entering the hospitality industry. 

The team

The foundation is part of our institute and supported by all of us. A team has been put together within the Hotel Management School Maastricht to develop and organize the foundation. Josje van Dongen (Dean Developments & Relations) is responsible from the Management Team. Daily activities are in the hands of alumni officer and fund employee Binie Hermans (photo). We will answer any questions regarding donating and we would like to hear your ideas or feedback too.

"Scholarships make the HMSM more accessible for talented young people with a passion for hospitality. Therefore, studying (abroad) at the HMSM is not only for the rich and famous."

"Without HMSM’s generosity, I wouldn’t be able to be here and express my gratitude for awarding me with this precious learning journey and experience, which will further lay the solid foundation for my career path and development in the future."

"I hope that with the foundation we can give international students, who don't have the wide educational possibilities we know in the Netherlands, the opportunity to make their dreams come true."
