Fast-growing startup company at UCF Funds Scholarship at Rosen College of Hospitality Management

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A 21-year old student at the University of Central Florida’s Rosen College of Hospitality Management who is also a startup company CEO in UCF’s Business Incubation Program announced he has funded a scholarship that will be awarded to a deserving student next year. Julien Meyer, founder and chief executive officer of collegeTKTS LLC, which produces the popular on-campus coupon book CollegeStack.com, said the scholarship will be awarded to a current student who exemplifies excellence in entrepreneurship in the hospitality industry. Altogether, Meyer’s startup projects, including Meyer Group Enterprises, a venture firm involved in several enterprises, employ more than 20 people. “I got into businesses in the first place to give back,” Meyer said. “What better place to start than the school which has given me so much?” he added. Meyer said he launched the scholarship project to celebrate his most recent business success. “We just franchised College Stack to a New York entrepreneur,” Meyer said. “We hope to continue our expansion by offering more products and services to our clients and customers,” he added. On the UCF campus, Meyer is almost as well known for his philanthropic endeavors as his entrepreneurial ones. Meyer has donated profits to the Student Government Association’s Don't Drink and Drive program and Fruit of the Vine Ministries. He is currently establishing a program to benefit a homeless organization in Orlando. Meyer attributes his successes to God, his family, UCF, Rosen College of Hospitality Management, the UCF Business Incubation Program, LEAD scholars and his friends.
