BMO Scholarship
The BMO Scholarship will recognize and assist students who demonstrate a dedication to improving their knowledge and skills in the culinary field and to making a contribution to the culinary communities in which they study and work.

Preference will be given to those with a record of meaningful work in the culinary field or who may have excelled in a secondary school culinary program.
Successful applicants may receive a tuition scholarship for an amount up to $2,000 CAD.
