How can a student obtain additional funds for an education at one of the top culinary schools, above and beyond what is available through Federal Student Aid and directly through the school?
I've found that Federal Student Aid and the funding available directly through the culinary schools does not begin to cover the cost of the top culinary schools. I'd like to look into available scholarships and grants through industry associations, groups, individuals, foundations, restaurants, corporations, etc., available for a young person who has 7 years of experience in a professional kitchen and is passionate about pursuing a culinary career.

You can filter for your desired education in the major databases for scholarships. I left some links for you below.
Apart from that, look for scholarships from professional organizations in the culinary field:
