The Department of Food Science Scholarship Awards are sponsored from both endowed funds and annual donations provided by the food industry and private individuals.
All undergraduates are eligible and are encouraged to apply.
Selection criteria for the various awards include financial needs, participation in the Department's Food Science Club activities, academic achievements, and interest in the food industry. Applications must be completed by all undergraduates in September in order to be eligible for department awards. To be eligible, you must currently be a sophomore, junior or senior and have maintained a grade point average of 3.0 or above on a 4.0 scale. The Scholarship, to be applied toward tuition, fees and books, will be awarded at the beginning of the next year of study. The Ruth Herzog and Albert Flegenheimer Undergraduate Prize is awarded with preference to a junior or senior.
