Scholarship Qualifications & About: 

Grandma Betty was known for many things—but above all, for her love-filled, homemade cookies that brought people together. In her memory, her daughter Amy and granddaughter, Miss Dallas Stephanie Wendt, are proud to honor her legacy with the Recipes for Resilience Scholarship.

We invite you to celebrate your own family traditions by creating a short, fun video of yourself cooking or baking a beloved family recipe. As you make your dish, share the story behind it:

Does it remind you of someone special?

Is it tied to a meaningful memory?

How has cooking or baking helped you feel connected to your community—or supported your mental health?

Application Requirements

Instructions:

1. Film a video of yourself preparing a cherished family recipe.

2. Tell us the story behind it and how it connects to resilience, community, or personal well-being.

3. Post your video to social media using the hashtag #RecipesForResilience.

Let food tell your story. Let your story honor the strength and sweetness of those who came before you.
