Scholarships

Support that sees the whole student.

Our scholarship program is being built to help aspiring culinary and hospitality professionals pursue education—and manage qualifying costs beyond tuition.

Culinary Canvas Chicago’s scholarship vision includes aspiring chefs and culinary students as well as emerging hospitality professionals, including sommeliers and beverage specialists. Final eligibility requirements will be published before applications open.
