Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship
A Canadian non-profit culinary foundation, the Hawksworth Young Chef Scholarship, was created in 2013 to recognize and inspire young Canadian chefs, whilst promoting professionalism and culinary excellence within the hospitality industry.
Through its national annual competition, the scholarship program provides a platform for talented young chefs to get a head start through recognition, mentorship and an unparalleled opportunity to work in the country’s leading restaurants.
Judges in previous years have included Chef Normand Laprise, owner and head chef of Toqué! and Brasserie T!; Chef Mark McEwan, star of Top Chef Canada; as well as award-winning food author Jacob Richler. Vancouver-based celebrity Chef Vikram Vij and Corporate Executive Chef of Oliver & Bonacini Restaurants Chef Anthony Walsh have also joined Chef David Hawksworth of Hawksworth Restaurant and Nightingale.
