Scholarship Opportunities
Scholarships for Professional Chefs
Sebastian Murabito Scholarship
The Sebastian Murabito Scholarship was created in 2009 to help fund continuing education opportunities for our professional members. This is a great opportunity for chapter members to take a specialty course and expand their culinary knowledge. Remuneration will be after the education is complete or sent directly to the institution of the person’s choice.
Sebastian (Porky) Murabito was a dedicated long time member of this association. Out of respect of his constant participation and dedication in so many of this Association’s fundraising events that we annually host the Sebastian Murabito Memorial Golf Tournament to raise funds for this scholarship. The Murabito Scholarships are awarded during the tournament.
