The International Spa Association (ISPA) Foundation has opened the application process for the Mary Tabacchi Scholarship.

The scholarship was created in 2006 and named in honour of Cornell University Associate Professor Mary H. Tabacchi. It is open to all students interested in spa management, and the recipient will receive US$2,500 (1,805 euro, £1,577) towards their education.

ISPA Foundation president Jeff Kohl said: "With spa employment on the rise, it is vital that we provide the best education and opportunities for the next generation of spa industry leaders. The scholarship does just that, by aiding a student in fulfilling their career goals. We are dedicated to providing the best tools and resources for the spa industry leaders of today and tomorrow."
