WE HOST AN ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR QUALIFYING COOKS, AWARD SCHOLARSHIPS AND PROVIDE GRANTS TO THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
ASSISTANCE TO DOMESTIC ORGANIZATIONS. CASI MAKES GRANTS TO LOCAL SCHOOLS, CHARITABLE AND GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS IN THE AREA OF THE COOKOFF, AS THE AREA IS A LOW INCOME COMMUNITY.

THIS INCLUDES ONE SCHOLARSHIP FOR THE VALEDICTORIAN AND THE SALUTATORIAN OF THE TERLINGUA HIGH SCHOOL AND A SPECIFIED NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL SCHOLARSHIPS THAT CAN BE APPLIED FOR BY ANY HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATING STUDENT. THE APPLICATION FORM IS POSTED ON THE CASI WEBSITE. APPLICANTS MUST FILL OUT THE APPLICATION AND MAIL IT TO THE SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN. THE APPLICATIONS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO ALL OF THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO REVIEW THEM INDIVIDUALLY AND THEN RANK THEM IN THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY BELIEVE THE SCHOLARSHIPS SHOULD BE GRANTED. THE COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN THEN TABULATES THE RESULTS FROM THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND ANNOUNCES THE WINNERS.
