About this award

You get $500.00. This is a prize, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a culinary student focusing on the art of menu design and recipe creation. You must apply by February 12, 2027. When you apply, ask NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology) how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Winners are chosen based on who creates the top two menu recipes, judged by a rubric that you will receive with your assignment. Selection criteria aren't published beyond that, so ask NAIT how many students typically enter this competition so you can judge your odds. Ask NAIT during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with NAIT whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a student currently enrolled in CULA 2202 – Menu Planning at NAIT (Northern Alberta Institute of Technology).

Tips for applying

• RecipeAvoid creating a generic menu. Instead, use the provided rubric to ensure your recipes meet every specific technical requirement. Review the rubric carefully before you start cooking.
• SupportAvoid guessing what the judges want. Instead, ask your instructor for feedback on your draft recipes. Schedule a brief meeting to clarify the rubric's expectations.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to submit your General Application. Instead, complete your profile in the awards portal early so you are automatically considered. Log in to the portal today to check for missing info.
• RealismAvoid assuming that being in the class guarantees a win. Instead, remember that only the top two menu recipes will receive the $500.00 prize. Focus on precision and presentation to stand out.
