As their exclusive higher education partner of the Buffalo Sabres, Niagara University has teamed up with the Buffalo Sabres to offer the one of a kind Sabres Scholars program.
The Buffalo Sabres Scholars program at Niagara University provides unique access and experiences each year for 10 incoming freshmen enrolled in the College of Hospitality, Sport, and Tourism Management (CoHST). Students will receive special access and mentorship from the leadership team with the Sabres, LECOM Harborcenter, and other sport and hospitality venues in Western New York. Select rising NU juniors will have the additional opportunity to take part in a paid internship experience with the Sabres.
To top it off, each student receives a $1,500 “signing bonus” in the form of a one-time scholarship to commence this truly one-of-a-kind educational experience. The Sabres Scholars program is open to all College of Hospitality, Sport, and Tourism Management students, with a focus on sport management studies.
Applications open on October 6, 2026 and close on March 1, 2027. Review of applications begins March 2, 2027.
