The French Culinary Institute Announces New
“Union Square Hospitality Group Restaurant
Management Scholarship”.
| December 22, 2009 - NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The
world-renowned French Culinary Institute is pleased to announce the
creation of the Union Square Hospitality Group Restaurant Management
Scholarship, a full scholarship for the Restaurant Management course at
The French Culinary Institute. “The scholarship with Danny Meyer’s restaurant group is a huge step toward helping people achieve their dream of attending culinary school, especially during these difficult economic times,” said Dorothy Cann Hamilton, CEO and Founder of The French Culinary Institute. “We are enormously grateful for Danny’s personal involvement.” The Union Square Hospitality Group Restaurant Management Scholarship will be awarded to one student to attend the Restaurant Management course beginning on January 27, 2010 (Wednesdays and Fridays) or January 30, 2010 (Saturdays). The full scholarship provides a unique opportunity for someone to acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to open or run a restaurant. The deadline for the scholarship is January 15, 2009. In addition to the Union Square Hospitality Group Restaurant Management Scholarship, The French Culinary Institute has created six (6) Restaurant Management Scholarships that cover half the tuition of the Restaurant Management course. Each of the “half scholarships” will be awarded to prospective students enrolling in the restaurant management introduction course that begins January 27th or January 30th. The Restaurant Management Course at The French Culinary Institute takes future restaurateurs from the initial concept scribbled on a napkin through the rigors of navigating day-to-day operations long after opening night. With guidance and valuable insight from key instructors from Union Square Hospitality Group, respected professors from the Cornell School of Hotel Administration University as well as experts in law, real estate, finance, architecture, and marketing, students prepare a business plan they can use to launch their own restaurant or concept.
