The North American Meat Institute (NAMI) Scholarship Foundation will offer larger awards to students in 2017-2018. Winners will receive $5,000 each, an increase from $3,000 in 2016-2017. Last year nine awards were given to high-performing undergraduate students to pursue degrees in animal, meat and food science, or in a culinary arts program.
In addition, the Scholarship Foundation Board of Directors recently voted to allow past recipients to be eligible for additional scholarships if they qualify. Previously, awardees were permitted one scholarship.
