FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 2012 Chefs4Students.org Culinary Grant Winner Announced
Steamboat Springs, Colorado, USA – April 13, 2012 – Chefs4Students.org today announced the winner of the April, 2012 culinary grant. The program previously known as the Chef2Chef.net Scholarship Fund was established in 2003 to assist culinary students in need of financial assistance. Since that time, $75,000 has been awarded to future culinarians in the form of $1,000 culinary grants.
For the 2011/2012 academic year, Chefs4Students.org received more than 900 applications from students at over 26 different culinary schools across the country and abroad. Eligible students must attend a culinary school at the time of the award, show proof of their financial need, provide letters of recommendation, transcripts and a 500-word essay.
This year the reviewing panel consisted of several certified chefs, business executives and culinary professionals from various organizations across the globe. The administrators of Chefs4Students.org did not participate in the final selection process. We are pleased to award a Chefs4Students.org $1,000.00 culinary grant to the following student.
The Chefs4Students.org grant is awarded today in the name of The Reluctant Gourmet, who generously sponsored a fifth grant in our program this past year. The recipient of that grant is:
• Mary Alice Montgomery, Johnson & Wales, Denver, CO
Funds for the April 2012 grants were generated by The Reluctant Gourmet, private donations, an online culinary auction hosted at CulinaryHallofFame.com and the Administration of Chefs4Students.org.
