A large part of the The Wine & Food Foundation of Texas’ mission is to challenge, nurture and develop future chefs. Culinary scholarships are one of the many ways in which the Foundation accomplishes this goal.
Pastry Scholarship Competition
2008 saw the launch of the annual Pastry Scholarship and Competition, named for Texas Pastry Chef Mark Chapman of Cookie Lounge in Austin. Each year the scholarship is named for a different Texas pastry chef who has made significant contributions to the industry.
Check our website in February and March for updates on the 2010 Pastry Competition.
Stephan Pyles Scholarship Cook-off
Named for Texas culinary legend Chef Stephan Pyles, known as one of the founding fathers of Southwestern cuisine, the Stephan Pyles Culinary Scholarship is a tribute to his remarkable contribution to the culinary arts in Texas. This scholarship is one of the many ways in which The Wine & Food Foundation of Texas fulfils its mission of providing education and research in the culinary and viticulture arts.
This scholarship challenge fosters the drive, passion and imagination in student chefs, thus furthering Texas’ great culinary legacy. It is challenging, demanding and requires skill, imagination and drive.
The competition is rotated between culinary schools throughout the state and is judged by a number of Texas chefs and culinary experts each year, including Chef Pyles.
The scholarship is funded through the Stephan Pyles Celebrity Chef Dinner each year held each November in Dallas at Stephan’s flagship restaurant.
