C-CAP in Arizona

Nearly 60 high schools are currently participating in Arizona’s C-CAP program, and it’s expected that nearly 100 students will be a part of this year’s competition to win partial or full scholarships to culinary programs across the country. Typically, C-CAP Arizona awards around $500,000 in scholarships annually.

Culinary students in Arizona’s program are already in gear for the competitions. With preliminaries beginning in less than three weeks, practices began this past week and are intense. Besides completing applications and essays, students will also participate in individual interviews before decisions are made.

Of course, there’s also that cooking competition to survive. Students will need to display their skills and talents in the kitchen, turning out precise renditions of several classic presentations. Stay tuned for more on practice and competition survival!
