FEMALE BARTENDING SCHOLARSHIP 2026

Calling all women ready to shake up hospitality.

 

The Double Dutch Female Bartending Scholarship returns for its 6th year. Created by Joyce and Raissa de Haas, this programme supports women building long-term careers in hospitality - from behind the bar to future leadership roles.
