Casino management system provider Table Trac on Wednesday announced a multi-year financial commitment to the William F. Harrah College of Hospitality at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The contribution is part of Table Trac’s commitment to fostering opportunity and development for under-served Native American communities.
”We are thrilled to support the next generation of gaming and hospitality leaders,” Table Trac President and CEO Chad Hoehne said in a statement. “By providing these scholarships, we aim to empower students from diverse backgrounds to achieve their educational and professional goals.”
Table Trac’s tribal education scholarship will support students pursuing hospitality management degrees at the Harrah College of Hospitality. Student eligibility will be determined by financial need and involvement in courses and programming related to the college’s Tribal Education Initiative, funded by the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians of Highland, California.
The scholarship aims to help expand opportunities for Native Americans in the gaming and hospitality sectors in alignment with the central mission of the Tribal Education Initiative.
“Table Trac’s commitment to our Tribal Gaming Initiative and our students is truly humbling,” said UNLV Dean of the Harrah College of Hospitality David Cárdenas. “This gift helps us support and preserve the investments of tribes in their gaming enterprises while creating economic opportunities for their next generation of leaders.”
The scholarship is open to all UNLV Hospitality College students in good academic standing. It can be used for tuition, laptops, books and application fees. The funds will be distributed as early as the spring 2025 semester.
