Your stay in Laramie strengthens Wyoming’s future in the hospitality industry.
Choosing the Hilton Garden Inn Laramie isn't just about comfort. The Pulte Family Foundation is dedicated to creating opportunities for the next generation of tourism professionals. Through the Student Enrichment Fund, we provide scholarships to deserving students, enabling them to participate in life-changing hospitality and tourism internships. These programs offer valuable real-world experience but are often inaccessible without financial assistance. The Foundation also supports the Student Excellence Fund, sponsoring a hospitality competition that allows students to showcase their skills and knowledge.
Finally, the Pulte Gateway to Hospitality Internship offers two lucky students a chance to gain practical experience through customized rotations across different hotel departments while incorporating a unique charitable element. This component requires interns to collaborate on a new “humanitarian” concept to be implemented at the hotel.
