Culinary, Baking, and Hospitality School Grants and Scholarships
If you are considering going to culinary school or the restaurant and hospitality field, check out these various organizations offering grants and scholarships. Some culinary schools are expensive, and you may need help paying for your tuition.
Check with the schools you want to attend to see what they offer. Most likely, a representative from the school will contact you after you fill out the request for more information forms and give you a good idea of what’s available, but be sure to also check with the school’s Financial Aid office. They are there to help.
Below, you will find a large grouping of organizations that award grants and scholarships to students interested in getting into the culinary and food service industries. This list is not comprehensive and I will add more as I find them. If you offer a culinary grant or scholarship, please get in touch with us with your information.
