The Tracy Kimberlin Travel & Tourism Scholarship was created to honor and recognize the work of Tracy Kimberlin.  Tracy served as the CEO of the Springfield Convention & Visitors Bureau for more than 35 years and retired from the position in December 2022.  

Throughout his tenure within the travel & tourism industry, Tracy was a driving force for countless initiatives and programs that not only supported Springfield, but DMOs state-wide.  The scholarship will support students pursuing a degree in the tourism industry, with preference given to students attending Missouri State University in Springfield.  

This $1,000 award is presented annually by the Missouri Association of Convention & Visitors Bureaus (MACVB).

To apply for the Tracy Kimberlin Travel & Tourism Scholarship, eligible applicants must currently be enrolled in a tourism related degree program in Missouri.  Financial need is not a factor in the selection criteria.

Successful applicants must include a letter of support from the Dean or another appropriate official, plus two letters of recommendation, with the required application form.

Watch for information for 2025 coming soon.
