The BLEU Grant

Le Cordon Bleu offers a grant to students who demonstrate financial need and are currently enrolled in a ground campus program.

Le Cordon Bleu Colleges of Culinary Arts offer institutional grants to students who have financial need, as determined by the federally-calculated Expected Family Contribution (EFC), and are enrolled in one the following programs: Certificate/ Diploma in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts, Certificate/ Diploma in Le Cordon Bleu Pâtisserie and Baking, Associate in Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts, Associate in Le Cordon Bleu Pâtisserie and Baking.

Grants range from $50 to $7,618 per student per year and are renewable for students who continue to demonstrate need in subsequent academic years. Students will be considered for the grant upon completion of the admissions application process and the financial aid application process, including the completion of the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).

The BLEU Grant does not supplant the student’s eligibility for a Federal Pell Grant and cannot be combined with any other Le Cordon Bleu grant or scholarship. If a student receives supplemental funding after the BLEU Grant has been awarded, the BLEU grant may be reduced based off of need calculations. BLEU Grant recipients must maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress as outlined in the campus catalog to remain eligible for the grant.

The College makes available a limited amount of money each year for such grants. Once it is determined that available funding is exhausted, grants will not be available to otherwise eligible students.
