Australia Scholarships 2011

AUD$30,000 Young Australian Entrepreneur Scholarship

Applications for courses commencing in January and July 2011 will open soon!

Le Cordon Bleu - an icon in the international hospitality field - has chosen to implement a very significant scholarship scheme to assist young people in Australia who have chosen the hospitality industry as their career.

The Young Australian Entrepeneur Scholarship is based on exclusive relationships between selected Australian high schools and Le Cordon Bleu Australia. The Scholarships are valued at AUD$30,000 towards either of the following degrees:

• Bachelor of Business (International Hotel Management)
• Bachelor of Business (International Restaurant Management)

This scholarship scheme is specifically aimed at assisting young Australians to gain international qualifications that might otherwise be beyond their reach, and students are selected for their passion, dedication and enthusiasm for the hospitality industry.

The scholarship winners will study alongside international students from more than 30 countries including South Korea, the US, Spain and India. Students commence the courses at the Regency Hotel School, while their final six months are based entirely at the University of South Australia's City West campus.

The degrees are also rich in professional experience, with students spending a total of 12 months working as employees within their chosen industry (i.e. restaurants, hotels, convention centres) to gain valuable practical knowledge.

Adelaide is the only place in the world offering these entrepreneurial hospitality management degrees, through Le Cordon Bleu and partnering institute, the University of South Australia.

Le Cordon Bleu Australia Marketing Manager Ms. Karen Spavin would welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly regarding the development of a scholarship program with your district or school.
