1) STUDENT CHEF SCHOLARSHIP

This is to help fund the education of financially-challenged student chefs who are skilled, determined & therefore deserving of support. Both self-applications & 3rd party nominations are welcome.

2) PROFESSIONAL CHEF SCHOLARSHIP

This is to help those highly skilled, mid-level professional chefs who are unable to train for & fund their travel to global competitions in-spite of their top calibre. Both self-applications & 3rd party nominations are welcome.

SOURCE OF FUNDS

The primary funding for this comes from our generous partners who have kept their products & funds on standby to help chefs celebrate their important day. Funds un-utilised after October 20 will be re-directed to the Scholarship Fund (2019).

Evaluation will be strict & exclusively based upon the candidate's skill + merit. The process will take 6-12 weeks and includes reference checks, interviews (In-person or video call), trade test etc. In addition, successful pro- chef applicants will receive our full support via training/mentoring from our relevant STAR CHEFS as well as material & equipment support from partners during training.

No target is set for the number of students or professionals to support. As many as the funds allow is the mantra. We will not be able to help everyone, but we will definitely try.
