Culinary Scholarships for Women

Women Chefs and Restaurants Scholarships

• Women Chefs and Restaurants annually provide women with scholarships and professional internships in the states and other countries. These scholarships are only awarded to students who will attend a school that is a member of the WCR organization, meaning these are not cash scholarships that may used at a college of your choice.

Les Dames d' Escoffier International Scholarship

• The Les Dames d' Escoffier International scholarship is awarded via the various chapters to women aspiring to become a chef. The awards are given through the chapters rather than the LDEI office itself. It is important to know that not all chapters award scholarships. To date LDEI chapters have awarded more than $4,000,000 in scholarships.

Roundtable for Women in Food Service Scholarships

• The Roundtable for Women in Food Service offers scholarships to women in an effort to give them a broader view of their possibilities in the world. What separates this organization from the others is that once you are awarded the scholarship and become a trained chef, you will be provided with mentoring and networking opportunities that will prove to be invaluable. Students applying for this award must be enrolled in a culinary arts or culinary-related program. The program must be RWF-approved and the applicant must have completed one semester of coursework. A minimum 3.0 GPA is required.
