C-CAP Scholarships

Since 1990, C-CAP has awarded over $28 million in scholarships to public high school students in our
C-CAP Cooking Competitions for Scholarships!

C-CAP offers two types of scholarships: post-secondary scholarships and cash scholarships. Post-Secondary scholarships come directly from the school and must be used for that specific culinary or hospitality program. Cash scholarships range from $500 - $20,000 and can be used towards a culinary or hospitality education at the school of the recipient’s choice.

Below you’ll find a list of post-secondary scholarships available in spring 2010. Scholarships, values, and requirements are subject to change in the 2009– 2010 competition season. Please check back for updates. For more information about the competition and scholarship eligibility requirements, please contact your local C-CAP coordinator.
