The Gordon Paesani Scholarship is a scholarship program that provides financial assistance to students who are pursuing a degree in culinary arts or hospitality management at an accredited college or university in the United States. The scholarship is offered by the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation (NRAEF), which is a non-profit organization that supports and promotes education and training in the restaurant and foodservice industry.
The scholarship awards up to $2,500, which can be used to cover tuition, fees, and other educational expenses. The scholarship is renewable for up to two years, depending on the recipient’s progress in the program and the availability of funds.
To apply for the Gordon Paesani Scholarship, interested applicants must complete an online application form and submit a personal statement, a transcript of their academic record, and two letters of recommendation. They must also provide proof of membership in the ACF.
The scholarship application period typically opens in the fall and closes in the winter, and specific details can be found on the NRAEF website.
