New York, NY, December 16, 2008 --(PR.com)-- The Italian Culinary Academy (www.italianculinaryacademy.com) at The International Culinary Center is pleased to announce the creation of a new $10,000 scholarship by an anonymous donor, available exclusively to all students who enroll in The Italian Culinary Experience beginning January 5, 2009.

"Through a generous donor, we are pleased to help people invest in themselves and pursue their passion for an Italian culinary career."

Designed by renowned Tuscan Chef Cesare Casella, Dean of Italian Studies at The International Culinary Center, The Italian Culinary Experience immerses students in Italian cuisine, language and culture at campuses in New York City and Parma, Italy where they train hands-on with top Chef-Instructors in world-class facilities. Following ten weeks of intensive cooking classes in New York City, students move to Italy to learn from some of Italy's talented chefs. Students spend another nine weeks working at a restaurant in Italy for real-life experience before returning to New York for one final week.
