2017 ACS Scholarships

The Facebook "Cheese Study Group"  is raising funds to assist cheese professionals in two categories:

1. ACS CCP exam candidate(s) - expenses to take exam and attend the 2017 ACS Denver Conference . (up to $2500US for each scholarship)
2. ACS CCP(s) , in good standing - expenses to attend the 2017 ACS Denver Conference. (up to $2000US for each scholarship)

This fundraiser is for those who do NOT have employer/trade association financial support. As most of us in the cheese community know, the expense of attending the ACS conference and taking the ACS CCP exam can be out of the reach of many deserving cheesemongers, cheesemakers and other cheese professionals. As a community, we can all donate and help a few of those worthy and desiring to expand their knowledge and standing within the cheese community.

Funds will only be used to defray expenses to take the exam and/or attend the 2017 ACS Conference.
All money (except fees charged by this website) will go directly to winners of the scholarship. In the event more money is raised, more scholarships will be awarded.

Scholarship entries must be submitted no later than 3/31/2017 and sholarships will be announced 4/30/2017. All donation should be made by 4/30/2017.

Donations are not tax-deductible but are greatly appreciated and all persons and/or companies donating $100.00US or more will be announced along with the winners, unless donators decide to remain anonymous.

Official rules for applications can be viewed at marcellathecheesemonger.com  or the Cheese Study Group.

Pinnacle Bank and Ed Burton, CPA  will oversee disbursement of all funds.

This fundraiser is in no way associated with nor endorsed by the American Cheese Society nor Facebook.
