Scholarships for Cooks and Food Writers

Cook ‘n Scribble Scholarships & Internships

Cook ‘n Scribble has received a grant that endows scholarships for people devoted to five of our favorite areas of food writing in each online course we offer.

• IACP Scholars are established professionals seeking to try new forms, or to move forward in their writing. This scholarship aims to give working people some support to try something new and the tools they need to test-drive an unrealized dream, be it a book, a blog, a documentary, a newsletter or a focused press release.
• In recognition of the work that the Edible network does in showcasing new voices and expanding the nation’s awareness of local food, Edible Scholars are writers dedicated to giving voice to community, micro-climates and the quiet food heroes of everyday life.  Preference is given to those whose work has appeared in one of the Edible publications or websites.
• Ethnic Foodways Scholars are writers whose research focuses on cooking of specific ethnic or cultural populations.  Preference is given to those with a strong academic background or passionate amateurs with a proven publishing record.
• Food Justice Scholarsare writers dedicated to food access, food policy, appropriate agriculture, hunger relief or other food-centric, humanitarian relief efforts who need powerful communication skills to spread their message in conventional and emerging media.
• New Voice Scholars are emerging writers who are passionate about food and need the instruction, editing and mentoring it takes to bring their work to the next level.

Applications for these scholarships are due Sunday, March 25, 2012. For more information on these and the rest of our scholarships, our internships and application instructions, visit our Scholarships and Intern Opportunities page.
