Award Details

This tiered scholarship ranges from $1,000 to $5,250, depending on an approved Work & Learn employer’s tuition assistance program. The $1,000 scholarship tier is available to students whose employer contributes $0 – $1,999 in tuition assistance. For employer contributions of $2,000 – $5,250, the scholarship will match the amount provided from the employer.

For example, if a student receives $5,250 and up from their employer in education benefits, they will be eligible to receive a $5,250 scholarship from Auguste Escoffier School of Culinary Arts, therefore resulting in a total benefit of $10,500 and up to the student.

This scholarship is eligible to be awarded with other Institutional scholarships but cannot exceed the overall Institutional maximum of $7,500 in residential or online diploma program or $15,000 in a residential or online Associate Degree program.
