Our Scholarship drive is the result of crowd-funding and depends entirely on the generosity of our cheese community. Our thanks go out to all of you in our cheese community who donated to our fund. Last year we funded a total of four scholarships and this year, due to donations, we were able to fund a total of five. The entire list of donors, whom we call “Cheese Elites” can be reviewed here
