Impacting Our Staff.

Scholarship Fund

At Partyman Catering, we’re dedicated to empowering our staff both inside and outside of the hospitality and culinary arts world. 

With yearly scholarships to three of our team members pursuing further studies, we contribute up to $750 each year in their educational endeavors.

Employee Scholarship

Three $250 scholarships will be awarded to current Partyman employees, taking any course to continue their education, regardless of their field of study. To be eligible, applicants must:

  • have worked 10 events or 200 hours by the end of the previous season
  • have a work attendance record of 95% or greater
  • complete an application and submit an essay outlining their career goals and how the scholarship fund will help them in achieving these goals
  • Extra points will be given to submissions that DO align with their current role at Partyman or desired career path. Although they do not have to submit for a class aligned with their career.

Funds will be distributed based on course schedule with proof of enrollment/registration
