Dennis G. Glore Memorial Scholarship

The Dennis G. Glore Memorial Scholarship Fund for Culinary and Hospitality students was established to honor the memory of Dennis G. Glore, an independent foodservice designer and consultant. The fund’s purpose is to provide scholarships to academically promising students attending a Hospitality Studies or Culinary Arts Program.

Eligibility: Applicants must:

  • be a current college student or graduating high school senior from the St. Louis area (Missouri counties of St. Louis, St. Charles, Lincoln, Warren, Franklin, Jefferson, and the City of St. Louis, and the Illinois counties of St. Clair, Madison, Bond, Calhoun, Clinton, Jersey, Monroe, and Macoupin).
  • be pursuing a certificate, associate, or bachelor’s degree in Hospitality Studies or Culinary Arts at a nonprofit, accredited, college, university, or trade/technical school in the United States.
  • demonstrate financial need. In general, unmet financial need will be defined as the difference between the cost of attendance and the sum of the student’s grant aid from other sources plus the Student Aid Index (as determined by the student’s Free Application for Federal Student Aid).

Selection for all scholarships awarded from this application
Recipients will be selected by the St. Louis Community Foundation based on the student’s commitment to, and academic preparation for, a Culinary Arts or Hospitality Studies program; the quality of the essay(s); and consideration of financial and unusual circumstances. Incomplete applications will not be considered. Please answer all questions that apply to you, even if they are not marked “required.”

Preference will be given to students who have not previously completed a Bachelor’s Degree.

Renewal
Recipients may reapply for award consideration for a maximum of four years of undergraduate funding, provided they continue to make satisfactory progress toward a degree and continue to meet the eligibility criteria. Please note that because the award amounts are based on available funding and financial need, which can change from year to year, the amount of this scholarship award may change if a recipient applies for renewal awards in years to come.

Notification
Application status will be changed from submitted to either offered or denied in July. Applicants can view their status by logging in to their Scholarship Central account. Funds will be mailed to the recipients’ schools in August.
