Jones Dairy Farm Endowed Scholarship Fund at the CIA
Established in May 2006, the Jones Dairy Farm
Endowed Scholarship Fund at the Culinary Institute of America (CIA)
supports six scholarships annually. CIA juniors and seniors pursuing
baccalaureate degrees in Culinary Arts Management are eligible to apply
for the scholarship by submitting a short essay and original recipe
using a Jones' product. Awards are restricted to students with a
demonstrated financial need and grade point average (G.P.A) of 3.0 or
higher.
In honor of the scholarship endowment, the CIA renamed the Breakfast
Cookery kitchen the "Jones Dairy Farm Kitchen" where both Breakfast and
Lunch Cookery courses at the CIA are held.
"We salute the hard work and dedication these talented
students have exhibited during their CIA experience and anticipate
following their careers post graduation," said Jones. "Like Jones Dairy
Farm, the CIA is committed to the advancement of the foodservice
industry by setting the ultimate standard of excellence. It’s this high
level of achievement that excites us about awarding the Jones’
scholarships for years to come."
