Do you know a student who is passionate about food safety and auditing?
The FMI Foundation Food Safety Auditing Scholarship and Education Travel Grants are open for applications on August 4! These competitive scholarships support students currently enrolled in food and agricultural science programs and are awarded based on academic excellence, leadership potential, and a demonstrated passion for the food industry and the auditing profession.
If you know a future food safety leader, make sure they don’t miss out. Tier 1 scholarship recipients will be recognized at SQF Unites 2026 in St. Louis, Missouri, and each will receive a complimentary pass to attend the conference and a $3,000 stipend to support their educational expenses.
New this year is another opportunity: Tier 2 scholarship recipients will receive a $1,000 stipend and complimentary registration to the auditor qualification course, “Auditing the SQF Code Requirements.”
Help us spread the word and support the next generation of food safety professionals!
