The Enrico Monti Endowed Scholarship is for students who have a passion for Italian cuisine and culture. Perhaps you are of Italian heritage or have experienced Italian hospitality from others. Maybe you are planning on having an Italian restaurant or working in one. Do you like northern or southern Italian cuisine? What do you love about Italian cuisine? What do you love about Italian culture?

Students who meet the following criteria are encouraged to apply:

  • Class Level: Sophomore, Junior, or Senior
  • Campus: Hyde Park
  • Program: Any bachelor’s program with Culinary Arts
