2018 Hospitality Education Scholarship Award

IFWTWA is proud to give back to the food, wine and travel industries by selecting promising students preparing for employment in the tourism and hospitality industries to receive our Hospitality Education Scholarship (HES) Award.

We are pleased to award the 2018 scholarship to Darelle Rancap, a student in the Olympic College Culinary Arts Program in Bremerton, Washington, USA.

Darelle Rancap consistently maintains high academic performance and has a passion for learning and succeeding in the culinary arts. She has taken on a leadership & supervisory role with the new incoming students, and she has been involved with every culinary event in which the college has engaged, both on and off campus. Chef Christopher Plemmons, Darelle’s advisor at Olympic College, has endorsed her for the HES Award.

Darelle excels at plating and artistic presentation of her food. She plans to complete her education in the culinary arts and continually progress in the workforce with the goal of becoming an executive chef.

Darelle receives an IFWTWA Hospitality Education Scholarship Award Certificate and an award check with funds to assist with her educational expenses.

IFWTWA is grateful to its members who have voluntarily donated to the IFWTWA Hospitality Education Scholarship fund. Anyone wishing to donate to our HES Awards Program may do so on the IFWTWA website. It's fast & easy and we sincerely appreciate your contributions.
