The Presidential Culinary Services Scholarship Fund
The Presidential Culinary Services Scholarship Fund will provide thousands of dollars in scholarships each summer. These awards are distributed to deserving individuals who otherwise would not have the opportunity to attend Apixius Little Chefs and Apixius Teens Chefs Cooking Camp.
The Presidential Culinary Services Scholarship Fund is made possible by contributions from sponsors and ten percent of the proceeds from Presidential Culinary Services. The Scholarships will offer less fortunate children the opportunity to be exposed to a wonderful culinary adventure that will open up possibilities for their future that they never could have imagined.

We do not want to assume that we can provide enough funding for your child to attend and consequently do not want to tie up your money, which would be subject to cancellation policies.
- If you are 100% sure that you will have the funding to register your child for camp regardless of scholarship funding, send the registration form with payment separately and it will be processed.
- NOTE: Scholarships may not be available for every week of camp. Registering your child for a specific week of camp before scholarships are awarded will not guarantee funding assistance for that specific week.
- Apixius Little Chefs and Apixius Teens Chefs Cooking Camp will not consider scholarship assistance for multi-week stays.

- If you have multiple children applying for scholarships, apply for each independently and remember to include all required materials for EACH child.
Apixius Little Chefs and Apixius Teens Chefs Cooking Camp Scholarships are decided on a need-based; decisions are not based on talent or achievement of the camper. The more detailed you are regarding your financial situation and/or need for financial aid, the faster the scholarship committee will have the ability to assess your application. If you or your child have put aside funds for camp, don’t hesitate to tell us about it in your letters. Your child’s letter should discuss his or her passion for cooking and how s/he believes attending Apixius Little Chefs and Apixius Teens Chefs Cooking Camp will help him/her to achieve his/her goals.
Please keep in mind that limited funds are available and scholarships are awarded in various amounts; not all scholarships will cover the entire tuition and travel expenses to and from camp are not included in awards.
You will be notified via regular U.S. mail if your child is awarded a Apixius Little Chefs and Apixius Teens Chefs Cooking Camp Scholarship.
Application review begins in March and applications received after the first round of reviews in March will be considered within 2 to 4 weeks after they are received. We will continue reviewing applications until all award funding has been distributed. The sooner apply, the better your chance of receiving a scholarship. Please keep in mind that we will receive more applications than we will be able to award and we will do our best to choose the most needy and deserving applicants. After The Apixius Little Chefs and Apixius Teens Chefs Cooking Camp Scholarship Fund contacts you to inform you you are being granted a scholarship you will be given a deadline to accept your award; if we do not get your registration form by that deadline, we will assume the award has been rejected so be sure to contact us ASAP!
Philanthropy
Presidential Culinary Services always strives to give a portion of its proceeds back to the community. Our goal will focus on exposing children and teens to the benefits of culinary skills and the importance of a well-balanced nutritious diet, while unleashing student potential for children and teens. We want to let those less fortunate than us know that they have other options for their future and a love of cooking with the right training and guidance can be turned into a lucrative career.
Presidential Culinary Services believes that if everyone of us does our part it will result in positive change. But we also realize that being a good citizen goes far beyond simply writing a check to a nonprofit. In order to make meaningful impact, Presidential Culinary Services make it a point to make charitable contributions to like-minded organizations that benefit local communities.
