The IRL Arts foundation awards five gifted graduating seniors per year with a $500 cash gift toward tuition in a degree in the culinary arts. This scholarship process is a bit different than others in the culinary world and requires all applicants to submit a video instead of a writing sample. Videos will be graded on a curve and account for 50% of the decision, the other 50% will depend on such factors as grade point average, extracurricular activities, letters of recommendation, financial need, and work experience (if applicable).
