First launched in 2002, the scholarships are established for the younger generation of aspiring food and beverage professionals who are eager for self-improvement, personal development and possess the potential to grow in the culinary and food and beverage profession.

Organised by Peter Knipp Holdings Pte Ltd, in partnership with Temasek Polytechnic, the scholarships are opened to all working in the Food & Beverage industry in Singapore between the ages of 18 and 26.

For 2006, three scholarships will be presented to budding food and beverage professionals who aspire a career in this dynamic industry. Recipients of the scholarships will receive an opportunity to attend bond-free courses or partake in apprenticeships at renowned establishments, together with a return air-ticket and accommodation.

Applications for the scholarships were opened on September 2005, and applications were closed on 29 October 2005. All eligible applicants were required to undertake a written test, where five highest scoring candidates for each scholarship will be chosen to go through a second phase selection, a practical assessment and an interview session.
