LES DAMES D'ESCOFFIER SCHOLORSHIPS - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS
(Directly from the press release.)

Les Dames d’Escoffier (BC Chapter) is accepting applications for our 2007 Scholarship Awards, supporting the advancement of women in hospitality and culinary fields. Awards are based on merit and ability, and vary in amount according to the program they support.

We offer these scholarships to women of all ages who are keen to begin basic training in these areas and to women already skilled in these fields, who seek to refine their expertise. Applicants must be B.C. residents.

In addition to our Les Dames d’Escoffier Scholarships, the Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver is again generously contributing three $2500 scholarships—one for each of their three terms. These scholarships will be awarded through Les Dames d’Escoffier to successful candidates who enroll in the one-year Professional Program or the 15-week Professional Culinary Program at Northwest Culinary Academy of Vancouver.

Pacific Institute of the Culinary Arts is also offering four scholarships of $2500 each—one for each intake—to be applied to the full time Diploma Culinary Program or the Baking and Pastry Program.

Application forms for all these scholarships may be obtained by visiting our website at http://www.lesdames.ca/scholarship

Application deadline is March 31, 2007. Please contact Barbara Watts bwatts@shaw.ca for further information.
