Max Cares Foundation, Inc. announced today it is now accepting applications for the charitable organization’s scholarships for graduating high school or currently enrolled college students pursuing a secondary education in culinary arts or hospitality/restaurant management for the 2023-2024 school year. Students residing in the Greater Hartford and Greater Springfield regions are encouraged to apply. Please refer to the Foundation’s website for the list of eligible towns.

Applicants are eligible to receive up to $3,000 in funds to be used toward their Culinary Arts or Hospitality educational expenses. In 2022, twelve students were provided scholarships. Since 2017, Max Cares Foundation has awarded 38 scholarships to students furthering their education in the field.
Executive Sous Chef for A Thyme to Cook Catering and 2020 scholarship recipient Joshua Barber states, “The Max Cares Foundation Scholarship meant so much for me. It meant that I was one step closer to achieving my goal of receiving my certificate in Culinary Arts from Manchester Community College. Not only did it help with finances for classes, but it showed that with hard work, self determination, and passion your efforts will be rewarded.”
