Classic Cooking Academy is Giving Out 10 Scholarships for Half of Tuition Cost

Over $70,000 in scholarship funding will be made available through CCA's Reach Out Campaign

Scottsdale, AZ, January 17, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Classic Cooking Academy, Arizona's premier culinary institute, will be awarding ten qualified deserving individuals with scholarships for half of the standard tuition costs. This nonprofit and accredited school whose mission is to provide quality education at an affordable price, offers a six month professional program for a cost well below that of competing schools in the area. By receiving half-priced tuition and Title IV Federal financial aid, which CCA will be offering for the first time this semester, students will be able to attain their Culinary Arts diploma for around $3000.

The availability of this scholarship and financial aid, coupled with the school’s 97% graduate placement rate, now further offers students the opportunity to embark on a career while incurring minimal to no debt. This incredibly unique school, combines classic French techniques with modern technology and methods, as well as traditional and contemporary Native American concepts, to provide students with training that is both practical and interesting.
