Chipotle sets up CIA scholarships

August 6, 2007

DENVER —Chipotle Mexican Grill announced that it has established the Chipotle Mexican Grill Annual Scholarship beginning in the 2007-08 academic year.

The $2,500 scholarship will be awarded to an emerging culinary professional in either the Associate in Occupational Studies in Culinary Arts or the Bachelor of Professional Studies in Culinary Arts Management degree programs. The recipient must demonstrate support for sustainable agricultural practices consistent with Chipotle's philosophy of Food With Integrity.

In addition to the new annual scholarship, Chipotle also is giving $10,000 each year for the next five years to the college to establish the Chipotle Mexican Grill Endowed Scholarship Fund. This scholarship will award some $2,500 each year to a student or students once the principal balance has been raised, and will continue in perpetuity.
