Our Opportunities

WELCOME TO $HEF!

ATTENTION STUDENTS: You can check your scholarship application status at any time by going to “My Applications”. “Submitted” means the scholarship is still being reviewed. If you are awarded a scholarship, you will receive an email and the status will change to “Offered”. Most scholarships will be awarded within 3-4 weeks of the scholarship’s deadline.

This is the scholarship website for enrolled or incoming students at all campuses of The Culinary Institute of America. To apply for any $hef opportunity, you must have made your incoming student deposit and log on using your usual CIA log in details-the same that you use when you log on to the CIA Main Menu. Do not use your full e-mail address.

Don’t forget the “external” scholarships! Additional scholarships managed and funded by organizations outside of the CIA are posted through out the year. Just hover over the OPPORTUNITIES tab above and select “External” or Click here
