Scholarship & Internship Program
WCR offers an array of scholarships and professional internships (domestic and international) on an annual basis. The application process opens each year in January with a deadline in late March or early April. The culinary school scholarships WCR offers are site-specific at culinary schools that are members of WCR. They are not a cash grant that is portable to the culinary school of your choice. To see if WCR offers a scholarship to the culinary school that is of interest to you, view our 2010 brochure below. Please note that our offerings may change slightly from year to year.
The 2010 Scholarship and Internship Program is now CLOSED! Awards recipients will be notified July 2010.
All applicants will be contacted in mid-June followed by an announcement of the recipients.
