Aspiring Chefs Just Need Passion and Talent. French Culinary Institute Scholarships Takes Care Of Financials
Situated in the streets of New York, the French Culinary Institute recognizes that the potential of culinary talent may be abundant but may be scarce in education funds. With this realization, French Culinary Institute Scholarships are now offered to incoming learners who have passed qualifications on academic merit and financial necessity. Some of the pride of the French Culinary Institute are master chefs like Jacques Pepin, who happens to be one of its distinguished faculty, and Food Network stars like Bobby Flay, who was once a student in the institute and now is a visiting lecturer.
The institute has offered six-month syllabus of day courses and a program with nine months duration for night classes. In supplement to this, the French Culinary Institute has been recognized for their offer to have a series of classes focused on the amateur chef. Unprofessional and full-pledged students both have hands-on training at Lécole, the fine dining restaurant of the institute.
Without consideration of a student's course, each is eligible to submit an application for French Culinary Institute Scholarships. Some qualifications that needs to be met are US citizenship and permanent residency, which of course ranges from a few thousand to more than ten thousand applicants. These grants also include awards for four Restaurant Management Scholarships in the same number of thousands each focused toward those who want to pursue restaurant management careers.
The FCI Military Scholarship, which awards twenty hopefuls with $5,000+ in the previous years, has been intended for students with culinary and pastry arts interests. Eligibility of French Culinary Institute Scholarships in this category is very specific to those who have worked for any branch of the military for at least 30 days. The Societe Philanthropic/ The Friends of the FCI scholarship is one of the very famous grants given by the French Culinary Institute and has, at one time, given a $6,000+ award to a student who wants to enroll in either the Pastry Evening Program or the Culinary Evening Program. The Friends of the FCI Fall Award is the highest grant of the Institute. It had given one individual pursuing studies in either Classic Culinary Arts or Classic Pastry Arts and who would be starting the course in either October or November.

What contributions did the French military make towards the defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II?
In English-speaking countries the French contribution in WW2 is often mocked and ridiculed. Is this justified?
As the morons above pointed out, the German's defeated the French in the battles of May/June 1940. But then they also defeated the Poles, Dane's, Norewgian's, British and a year later brutally mauled the Soviet's - the largest military force in the world by a wide margin. So there really isn't much shame in being defeated by the German's in 1940. They did that to EVERYBODY.
After June 1940 Germany occupied the north of France and set up a puppet government in southern France with the new capital in Vichy. TheVichy government controlled France's overseas colonies. French General Charles de Gualle formed a Free French government in exile in Britain which also controlled those French soldiers who had escaped to Britain when France fell. Finally there was the FFI or French Forces of the Interior, a resistance movement of often questionable value and reliability mostly run by anti-fascist French communists. Much of the French "collaboration" with the German's was really more an anti-communist campaign than a pro-Nazi one and anti-communist fervor is what motivated French citizens to join the Waffen SS and end up in places like the Battle of Berlin.
From 1942 on the French Colonial Army forces in North Africa (60,000 troops) under control of the Vichy government which had initially resisted the allies soon joined the Free French side and aided the allies in the defeat of the Africa Korps there. These troops with additional recruits were able to form 8 divisions that went on to fight in Italy.
After the allied invasion of Normandy the Free French forces stood at around 560,000 men and the French 2nd Armored Division liberated Paris. Free French forces then fought with the allies all the way into Germany. With recruitment in liberated France possible again after June of 1944 by May of 1945 the French army had reached a force level of 1,250,000 men and had 7 infantry and 3 armored divisions fighting in Germany in addition to the divisions in Italy. Some 20,000 Free French soldiers were killed in action.
