Valuable Tips for Getting a
Culinary Scholarship
-
Scholarship committees,
admissions recruiters, and
employers look favorably on
students who participate in
extra-curricular activities
or do volunteer work.
Group activities promote
leadership qualities,
communication skills, sense
of purpose, and commitment.
-
Ask for letters of
recommendation well in
advance, and discuss the
kind of information needed
in the letter. It's
important that your letters
come from reliable sources
and are written on company
or institutional letterhead.
-
Most scholarship
applications require a
written personal statement
discussing your background,
accomplishments and goals.
-
Send all required
attachments along with your
application.
-
Attach a cover letter that
summarizes your educational
goals. The cover
letter is also a good place
to include any personal
information that you want
the scholarship selection
committee to consider when
evaluating your application.
-
Make copies of all parts of
the application and
recommendation letters.
Keep these to refer to at a
later date.
-
Apply early — Make sure you
have time to complete all
requirements.
