Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the endowment funds go?
Endowment contributions help fund the 40+ scholarships awarded to students pursuing a food-related degree.
Do you have to be in foodservice to donate?
All contributions are welcome and help support future food industry leaders!
Can I donate funds for a one-time scholarship?
Yes! These would be considered a "pass-through" scholarship for a specific year.
Can I build the endowment over time?
Absolutely! Contributions can be made each year until you have established the minimum endowed fund of $10,000. Or if you’d like to increase your current endowment fund, you can make additional contributions which would increase your scholarship awarded.
Can certain criteria be considered for the memorialized fund?
Donor's may request the recipient be a student from a specific part of the state or attend a specific college. If there is no qualified applicant that meets the donor's desired criteria, however, the scholarship will be awarded to a qualified student from another area.
