High school seniors can enter the National Culinary Scholarship

Cook-off for more than $190,000 in scholarships.

Students have to submit a notebook of information, including a

transcripts and a letter of recommendation.

The finalists will be invited to regional cook-off competitions.

The National Portfolio Competition seeks out the best high school

talent in the field of graphic design. More than $200,000 in scholarships

will be awarded in this competition.

Students must fill out an application form from the Art Institute’s

Web site (o7 https://www.artinstitutes.edu/pvf7 ) and also send in a

35-millimeter slide with an example of their work.

The deadline for both contests is Feb. 15.
