Tips for applying

• Culinary SkillAvoid just stating that you are in the program. Instead, describe a specific time you applied culinary management skills to solve a problem in a kitchen. Mention a real project or event you managed.
• SupportAvoid using a generic character reference. Instead, ask a chef or instructor who has seen your technical skills firsthand to vouch for your culinary management abilities. Ensure they mention your specific skill level.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to check STU-VIEW (the George Brown student portal). Instead, log in weekly to watch for the Faculty Awards application in the winter awards portal window. Set a calendar reminder to check every Monday.
• RealismAvoid assuming enrolment alone will win this award. Instead, remember that this is a skill-based award. Focus your application on proving your expertise in culinary management to stand out.
