Scholarships

At Le Cordon Bleu London we offer scholarship opportunities to help students with the costs of studying at our school. If studying culinary arts, wine or management has always been a dream, our yearly scholarship could be just the way to achieve it.

For 130 years Le Cordon Bleu has helped shape the careers of some of the best chefs and food enthusiasts around the world. Regularly offering scholarship competitions each year, 2025 will focus on Le Cordon Bleu’s most prestigious programme, the Grand Diplôme^®.

The prize will also include an internship at CORD by Le Cordon Bleu restaurant and some incredible prizes, including mentoring from Michel Roux and Chris Galvin, an overnight-stay at The Savoy and 12 months accommodation from Londonist.

With a prize pot worth over £90,000, our 2025 scholarship is our largest yet! Celebrating our 130th anniversary this year we've allocated even more prizes, with second runner-up receiving a place on our Basic Cuisine or Basic Patisserie 3-month programme, and third runner-up a place on our Summer Essentials course. Both runners-ups will also receive a 2-week internship at Cord restaurant and special prizes from The Savoy, Louis Latour and Phaidon.

This Scholarship follows the success of the Julia Child Scholarship and Wine Scholarship by Le Cordon Bleu, providing a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who has a passion for the culinary arts and aspires for a career in the culinary hospitality industry.

Le Cordon Bleu London is searching for some of the country’s most passionate culinary enthusiasts – regardless of age, location or background – giving them the chance to follow their dreams and aspirations, learning from Le Cordon Bleu London's Master Chefs and interning under the kitchen team at CORD by Le Cordon Bleu.
