--The school's LA campus joins NYC campus in accepting military and veteran benefits--
LOS ANGELES, June 17, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) today announced the availability of GI Bill educational benefits to veterans at its Los Angeles campus. The campus, which opened in 2018, joins the New York City campus in accepting these military benefits to attend the school. At the LA campus, ICE's career training programs in Culinary Arts, Pastry & Baking Arts, Health-Supportive Culinary Arts and Restaurant & Culinary Management are eligible.
"At the Institute of Culinary Education, we value members of the military and honor their commitment to our country," said Lachlan Sands, Los Angeles campus president. "We're thrilled to be able to offer these benefits to veterans and we're committed to helping them build their next chapter and find their culinary voice at ICE."
There are several active duty and veteran's benefit programs available to ICE students. In addition to post 9/11 GI Bill educational allowances from the Department of Veterans Affairs and tuition assistance benefits available to military members from the Department of Defense, ICE also offers members of the military special tuition discount programs, including:
- Students taking the Culinary Arts, Pastry & Baking Arts and Health-Supportive Culinary Arts programs can receive a $2,500 tuition discount in addition to their military benefits.
- Students taking the Restaurant & Culinary Management program can receive a $750 tuition discount in addition to their military benefits.
- When Restaurant & Culinary Management is combined with Culinary Arts, Pastry & Baking Arts and Health-Supportive Culinary Arts, students can receive a $3,250 maximum tuition discount in addition to their military benefits.
"There's a really big similarity between the military and the culinary world," said Kelly Bedford, a 2019 Pastry & Baking Arts graduate who used her GI Bill benefits to attend ICE's New York campus. "There is a lot of organization. There is a rank structure. And there is camaraderie. The culinary world is not that big, and neither is the military. They are both small, little communities and everybody watches out for each other as best they can. It's that sense of family and belonging and I hadn't had that since I was in the Marine Corps."
