Kristin: Hi my name is Toby and I am writing on behalf of a very close friend of mine who is interested in Le Cordon Blue in London or PaRIS. hE IS A VERY TALENTED ARTIST, however his problem is securing funding to attend school in Europe.We currently reside in Miami Beach, Florida. Are you aware of any grant or scholarship programs that he should apply to. For what it is worth, he is an American Citizen, and a minority ( African American) I would appreciate any thought that you might have,....including referrals or other directions to research. Thanks :) Toby : Kristen, My name is a Kevin Staff and I am a grad of Le Cordon Bleu ecole de
:
: cuisine et de patisserie, Paris, France.The reason you should go to Le
: Cordon
: Bleu is to study Classic French Haute Cuisine. The Classic Cycle is
: not so much
: concerned with he business side of running a restaurant as the
: pure form of
: creating haute cuisine. This is the focus of the ClassicCycle
: (5 classes that
: lead to the Grande Diplome). The classes are setup in such
: a way as to split
: the time youare sitting in the classroom demonstrations
: and doing practicals in
: your own personal area in the kitchens. 8 to 10
: hours a dayin the school is
: needed in the second and third trimester to
: finnish. Soaking in the culture is
: a major part of studying in Paris and I
: have found it to be an asset in my day
: to day life. This is a tip of a very
: large iceberg. If I can answer any
: particular questions I would be glad
: to. Here is the school address and info:
