Apply for the Summer 2015 Barista Camp Scholarship!
In conjuction with Toddy, the Barista Guild of America is offering a scholarship for this summer's Barista Camp in Pocono Manor, PA.
The scholarship is designed for people who lack the financial resources to attend Barista Camp on their own, but who belong in the environment of education and deeper understanding coffee that Barista Camp provides.
Barista Camp serves as a hands-on platform to build your knowledge and understanding of the history, fundamentals, art and science of coffee preparation, develop exceptional customer service skills, and learn industry recognized standards and practices in order to train other baristas at your cafe.
Highlights include skill building workshops, one-of-a-kind industry lectures, and the opportunity to meet and network with coffee professionals just like you!
"Whether you're a barista who forgot to save those tips for the trip to Camp, couldn't get your boss to pay for Camp registration, or maybe that Kickstarter for Camp just didn't work out -- Toddy is offering a chance for you to still attend Barista Camp! I'm excited that this opportunity is being offered to a lucky barista, and can't wait to welcome them at Camp," said Julie Housh, BGA Executive Council Chair.
Please fill out and submit the questionnaire below by April 17, 2015. You will be notified of your fellowship status by April 30, 2015.
