Technicians are a vital part of our industry – they keep kitchens up and running. However, entire teams are supporting them in the background that are so important, too! The committee has decided to give one scholarship per term to a support staff member to give them the resources to further develop their careers.

*We are offering two $2500 Service Heroes Scholarships for technicians (with the $1500 AllPoints sponsored tools bonus) and one $2500 Support Heroes Scholarship for the support staff per term. 

Thank you, Auston Mealer’s Restaurant Equipment Service, EMR – Electric Motor Repair Company, Davisware, Windy City Equipment, and Roopairs Technologies, Inc., for Sponsoring one of the Service Hero Scholarships!
