A year after the death of Anthony Bourdain, the chef and world-traveling television personality, the Culinary Institute of America is creating a scholarship in his memory.

The scholarship, announced on Wednesday, will be awarded each year to one or more students to pursue study abroad. “Travel was such a part of who he was; it was life-changing for him,” said L. Timothy Ryan, the president of the school, based in Hyde Park, N.Y., where Mr. Bourdain graduated in 1978 and received an honorary doctorate in 2017.

Mr. Bourdain was found dead last June in a hotel bathroom in Kaysersberg, a small village in the Alsace region of France, where officials determined that he had hanged himself. This year, as the June 8 anniversary of the death neared, one of his closest friends, Eric Ripert, the chef and an owner of Le Bernardin, said people approached him about ways to commemorate Mr. Bourdain.

“I thought it should be a celebration of Anthony Bourdain,” Mr. Ripert said. “It would be better to celebrate him on his birthday, June 25, not the day he died, with something meaningful to recognize him.”
