Student Testimonial
Receiving the scholarship from Sno-Isle Skills Center Foundation allowed me to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse without the burden of financial stress. I’m now working in a local hospital and am so grateful for the opportunities this foundation has provided.
Joseph Taylor
On day one of orientation I was hooked. I thought, “wow I get to learn about cooking and the inner workings of a restaurant without the burden of college debt.” I have now been in the restaurant industry for over 12 years and Sno-isle gave me that extra step towards the career I have always wanted. I have worked in many restaurants in Seattle, Hawaii, Alaska and Utah. This is all thanks to the opportunity Sno-isle culinary department gave me, and Chef Becky who saw the potential and passion in each and every one of us.
