Who Can Apply:
- Growing up in a family restaurant can teach you a lot; hard work, responsibility, resilience, and probably a few things you wouldn’t learn anywhere else. But restaurant life can also mean long hours, late nights, and sacrificing time for school, friends, and extracurriculars.
- As a former restaurant kid myself, I was fortunate that my family worked hard to give me the time and freedom to focus on school and enjoy the experiences that came with it. The Kitchen to Campus Scholarship is my way of paying that opportunity forward to another restaurant kid.
- This scholarship aims to support students who grew up in the family restaurant business as they pursue higher education.
- Any high school senior, undergraduate, or trade school student may apply for this scholarship opportunity if their family owns or owned a restaurant and if they worked there for at least one year.
Submission: To apply, tell us something you learned from working in your family’s restaurant, what you would do with $100 and a free Saturday, and one dish you would add to your family’s menu. Additionally, link to your family restaurant’s website, Yelp page, or Google Maps listing.
Deadline: December 28, 2026
Amount: $3,000
