Six Flags Friends & The School of Hotel Administration Scholarship and Apprentice Program
The Six Flags Friends Apprentice Program - an educational development package that combines a traditional financial scholarship with apprentice-style learning.
This elite program will offer one outstanding hospitality management student the opportunity to work and train alongside some of the best and brightest in the theme park business. The program is designed to couple in-park experiences with strategic planning and analysis in an effort to create an all encompassing look at park operations. The recipient will be able to choose from one of 18 domestic Six Flags properties and will spend the 2009 summer season engaged in all operational aspects of the park’s business.
Additionally, the student will receive a full-tuition, one semester scholarship to be used towards obtaining their degree at Cornell University. Six Flags will also assume the cost of the student’s summer room and board, including a meal stipend allowance.
“The students of The Cornell School of Hotel Administration represent our future hospitality industry leaders and we are excited to provide this opportunity for a unique glimpse into the world of theme parks,” said Jessica King, Director of Six Flags Friends. “Today’s students are ambitious and driven, but are also faced with the realistic stresses of a challenging economy. This program allows Cornell students to use our parks as a distinctive platform to seek insight into their future careers while supplementing their educational experiences.”
