The Acorn Scholarship is an independent award created by previous winners of Caterer and Hotelkeeper’s Acorn Awards.

Now in it’s 10th year, the Scholarship’s objective is to seek out talented individuals within the catering and hospitality industry and help them realise their ambitions and reward their determination.

The Acorn Scholarship is a self-nominated award (although you must have the backing of your employer) and is open to individuals who are UK residents and able to work in the UK without restriction.

The Acorn Scholarship has evolved and grown into one of the industries most sought after prizes for up and coming talent within our industry.

It has been a joy and pleasure to be able to mentor and develop the past and future winners and watch them grow into the leading lights within the industry.
