Scholarship
Announcing NEW GBTA Chapter Presidents Council (CPC) scholarships! Must apply by August 31st!
Professional development is the foundation for the existence of the Ohio Valley Business Travel Association. We were established in 1969 by a small group of travel industry leaders seeking to develop the knowledge and professionalism of those individuals who were managing or selling travel related services. Each of our meetings is designed to provide current, leading edge information and knowledge sharing among our membership, or to create a comfortable social environment where networking and peer recognition can be accomplished informally.
Our commitment to education remains the focus of the organization today.
In addition to providing industry leading educational meetings on a regular basis, OVBTA also supports the professional development of members through a comprehensive scholarship program.
CPC scholarships:
Calling all OVBTA members to level up! GBTA and the Chapter Presidents Council just dropped some exciting news—additional 2026 scholarships are now available, but only for a limited time!
The clock is ticking: Applications close Thursday, August 31st at 5pm EST. Apply here before it’s too late!
This is another chance to invest in yourself and expand your industry knowledge. FYI: the CPC Legislative Summit scholarship is separate from any OVBTA offerings coming in Spring 2027.
Don’t let these opportunities pass you by. Submit your application today and take the next step in your professional journey!
