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 three 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 Philip Jones,
President. "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."

Fareez Dossani: Lawrenceville, Ga.-native Fareez Dossani credits his parents for his culinary passion and his decision to make the food and hospitality industry his living. In pursuit of a foodservice career, Fareez completed the first half of his culinary education at the CIA in traditional fashion. He earned a 3.32 grade point average; focusing on his academics and thinking of a future in hotel management where he hoped one day to work in Dubai.
When he entered his junior year, Fareez experienced a revelation during a class taught by his mentor and economics professor, David Flynn. The lecture centered on the micro and macro economics of third world nations and the effects on global markets. As a result, Fareez started researching fair trade practices and how we all can affect change in impoverished nations simply by our purchases. He soon founded the student organization "Students or Fair Trade" at the CIA and currently serves as president and has worked with the college's buyers finding ways to support global fair trade. Currently pursuing his B.P.S. in Culinary Arts Management, Fareez expects to complete his studies at the CIA in March 2012.
