Felice Thorpe Appointed to Board of Daphne Zepos Teaching Endowment
The Daphne Zepos Teaching Endowment
The DZTE started in 2012 funding the Daphne Zepos Teaching Award, as a scholarship to grow a squad of cheese professionals who teach about the history, culture, and techniques in making, aging, and selling cheese.
Each year two scholarship recipients go forth to learn about cheese. The scholarships fund expenses related to their research including, travel, living expenses, and more. The recipients will share their learning with industry peers at events like the annual American Cheese Society conference and beyond.The scholarships are funded by the Daphne Zepos Endowment, a 501(c)(3) non-profit.
By donating to this endowment we ensure that 100% of your money goes to the endowment (minus credit card and site fees). The endowment is managed by two co-presidents, a board of directors, and administrators. No funds from the endowment go to pay them. The endowment’s funds are safely invested and their annual returns fund the scholarships. With careful management, we hope the scholarships will be offered in perpetuity.
