Scholarships available

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Oct. 1 is the deadline for applications for the International Association of Culinary Professionals Foundation's culinary scholarship program for the 1996-97 academic year.

The program is open to anyone interested in pursuing a culinary career. Special emphasis is placed on new students entering the culinary field from high school, college or trade school, on change-of-career candidates and on culinary professionals interested in intensive workshops or courses at the advanced level.

The foundation is also offering a ``sojourn'' program for experienced cooks or chefs who seek new perspectives by taking short, unpaid positions in the kitchens of prominent chefs.

Last year, 80 scholarships were awarded by the foundation, at a collective value of some $170,000. Ten scholarship cash awards ranged from $10,000 to $1,000. Scholarship-tuition awards included an $8,500 award from the New York Restaurant School.
