The American Cheese Society is paying tribute to recipients of its 2026 Conference Scholarships.

At the American Cheese Society Annual Conference, the American Cheese Education Foundation grants multiple general scholarships along with a variety of named scholarships to our community.  The scholarships cover a mixture of full scholarships that cover registration, a travel stipend, and hotel costs, and partial scholarships that cover the cost of registration to the ACS conference.

Scholarships are open to cheesemakers, retailers, chefs, students, and any other cheese professionals.  ACS & ACEF encourages all members of the community to apply for scholarships! While we prioritize first-time attendees and first-time applicants, we thoroughly review every application that comes in and will award scholarships to as many people as we can.
