New Jersey Food Council Scholarship Program

The Education Development Scholarship Program was created with the goal to promote future leaders, create a benefit for NJFC members and their families, and support the food industry. When this program was put into place just a few years ago, we began with only three awards. This year, NJFC offered 32 scholarships totaling almost $100,000!

Scholarship applications open in late January, so check back for updated information.
