The Stelios Philanthropic Foundation and BCA College recently celebrated five years of the Loukas Haji-Ioannou Yacht Chef Certificate program by awarding 10 full scholarships for the 2026–2027 academic year. The initiative covers 100% of the students' tuition fees and provides an additional €1,000 cash grant to each scholar to help kickstart their career. Alongside learning Japanese-Greek fusion, molecular gastronomy, and marine-inspired masterclasses, students train on actual mega yachts and practice aboard the historic MY Klelia 1.
Created to honor the legacy and maritime spirit of Loukas Haji-Ioannou, this initiative is changing lives by giving young people the tools, skills, and confidence to thrive in the yachting industry. Warmest wishes to the ten new scholars as they embark on this exciting culinary journey!
