This scholarship was originally founded by Prof. Daniel Fesenmaier of Temple University, USA, who wanted to stimulate students to come up with an original and innovative idea for a development strategy in tourism. Presently, scholarship funds are generated during events and from various sponsor donations. Additionaly, some faculty members of MODUL University generously donate their lecture and speakers' fees to the Scholarship of Hope.
