The Freshman/Sophomore Scholarship program encourages outstanding students to pursue a B.S. at an IFT-approved university in the field of food science and food technology.
For sophomore scholarships, any freshman must intend to enroll or be enrolled in an approved food science/technology program, except as otherwise noted, who has maintained at least a 3.0 GPA (A=4.0) for the first term of study, and who has the recommendation of the department head.
Scholarships are available to Freshmen with a 3.0 GPA or above, pursuing a curriculum in food science or food technology, and intending to enroll or be enrolled in an IFT-approved university. Scholarships are available to Sophomores with a 3.0 GPA or above currently enrolled in an IFT-approved university pursuing a food science or food technology degree. (for purposes of this document, approved program means the program meets the “IFT Undergraduate Education Standards for Degrees in Food Science,” as determined by the Committee on Higher Education).
Scholarship Application Deadline: 1 March 2011
