Balderson Cheese has introduced The Balderson Artisan Cheesemakers Scholarship, a new initiative aimed at nurturing the next generation of cheesemakers in Canada. This program offers financial aid to students enrolled in full-time, cheese-focused educational programs. Its goal is to preserve and evolve the craft of cheesemaking.

The Balderson Artisan Cheesemakers Scholarship provides up to $2,000 CAD to each recipient, with $1,000 awarded upon enrollment in an approved program and the remaining $1,000 upon completion of the course. This investment by Balderson demonstrates a commitment to supporting new talent and ensuring the future of cheesemaking in Canada.

Bindia Wijesekera, Brand Manager at Balderson Cheese, shares about the scholarship: “The Balderson Scholarship is our way of investing in the future of cheesemaking. We want to encourage the craftsmanship that is at the heart of our brand and encourage prospective cheese artisans to explore this highly-skilled field.”
