The NPFDA Scholarship Foundation has awarded $50,000 in scholarships to ten outstanding students.
Eligible applicants are employees of NPFDA member companies or dependents of an employee of a NPFDA member company enrolled full-time at a US-based college or university or a graduating high school senior pursuing a college degree in the fall. The NPFDA Scholarship Foundation’s Selection Committee reviewed each applicant’s submission. Each submission was evaluated on the essay, extracurricular activities, recommendation letter, and GPA - ballots were tallied, and the top ten students were awarded $5,000 each.
Two of the scholarships are funded in full by Shuler Meats.
The NPFDA Scholarship Foundation was established in 1979.
