The Nicole V. Reed Memorial Foundation Culinary Award
Application status: Closed

Nicole V. Reed Memorial Foundation has established a scholarship program to assist New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania residents who plan to pursue a culinary arts degree.

The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance, and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or national origin.

Applicants to the Nicole V. Reed Memorial Foundation Culinary Award must:

  • Be a New Jersey, New York, or Pennsylvania high school senior or graduate age 25 or younger
  • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two- or four-year college, university or vocational-technical school in the U.S. for the entire upcoming academic year

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $5,000 award.  Up to one award will be granted. Awards are one-time only. Past recipients may not reapply.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship finalists are selected on the basis of academic record, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, work experience, a statement of goals and aspirations, unusual personal or family circumstances, and an online recommendation.
