Empowering the Future
The dmhFund, with the generous support of the family and friends of the late Jeff Guaracino, established the Jeff Guaracino Scholarship.
Jeff Guaracino was an extraordinary person who exemplified what is best about Philadelphia’s tourism, hospitality and events industries and the LGBTQ+ community.
This scholarship is to assist you as you create your own path in the hospitality, tourism and events industries of Philadelphia, as our friend Jeff Guaracino did.
About the Scholarship
The Jeff Guaracino Scholarship will be awarded annually to two students who have demonstrated a commitment and passion for tourism, hospitality and events industries of Philadelphia.
Special consideration will be given to students who are working on projects that impact the LGBTQ+ community.
Each scholarship is in the amount of $2,500. Scholarship funds are unrestricted and may be used for tuition, housing, books, transportation, living expenses, or any other education-related expense.
