Zwilling J.A. Henckels and Share Our Strength's Cutting Edge Student Scholarship Program
The Cutting Edge Student Scholarship Program engages rising students in the culinary industry in the fight to end childhood hunger in America.
Share Our Strength is a national organization working to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry and engages top chefs in the country in this effort.

Conference of Leaders brings together Share Our Strength's staff, volunteers, top chefs and restaurateurs, corporate partners, grant recipients, and anti-hunger advocates to discuss the issue of hunger and each person's role in this fight.
Conference highlights for the selected students include:
- Welcome dinner at a top Washington, DC restaurant

- Day of service at a local anti-hunger organization
- Speakers addressing food trends and the role of the culinary community
