NYIFT
STUDENTS AWARDS
PROGRAM
The
New York Institute of Food Technologists (NYIFT) is proud to announce
its 2012-2013 Students Awards Program. The NYIFT with its
Central New Jersey subsection will again sponsor scholarship awards at
the local level and through the Institute of Food Technologists
(IFT). In addition, a Poster Competition exhibit at Student
Night will also be held. These awards represent the NYIFT's
commitment to the growth of up and coming Food
Scientists. These programs are outlined below:
IFT SCHOLARSHIPS
The
NYIFT sponsors one Graduate ($1,500) and two Undergraduate ($1,000
each) IFT Scholarships.
NYIFT SCHOLARSHIPS
The
NYIFT Scholarship Program will seek to award three Graduate
Scholarships at $1,500 each and two Undergraduate Scholarships at
$1,000 each.
To
be eligible for one of these scholarships, the prospective student must
have a GPA of 3.0 or better; be enrolled in an IFT accredited Food
Science Program; have paid his/her NYIFT membership dues for
2012-2013. The Scholarships are awarded to those academically
qualified students who are selected by the Awards Committee following
personal interviews. Awards will be presented at "Student
Night" at the NYIFT February 12, 2013 meeting,
and recipients attend as guests of NYIFT. Previous recipients
are encouraged to continue their participation.
POSTER COMPETITION
As
part of the "Student Night" Program, interested students are encouraged
to present their research. Poster presentations will be
judged by the Awards Committee prior to Student Night. Monetary awards
($500 - first place, $300 - secondary place and $200 - third place)
will be presented to the top three presenters at the Student Night
Meeting on Tuesday, February 12, 2013.
All students participating in the Poster presentation at the February
meeting are invited to attend the dinner that follows, free of charge.
All reasonable material costs associated with preparation of the
posters will be borne by the NYIFT. Reimbursement of expenses
will be handled through the Food Science Club. Receipts for
poster supplies are required.
SCHOLARSHIP FOR A
DEPENDENT OF NYIFT MEMBER
The
NYIFT awards one scholarship to a dependent of a NYIFT or CNJIFT
member. Applications must be post- marked by the deadline of February 25, 2013.
We'd like to take this opportunity to encourage you to participate in
these programs and wish those who do Good Luck! These scholarships are
only a small part of what the NYIFT and its Central New Jersey
subsection have to offer. To get a better understanding about
the Food Industry and to meet professionals involved in the industry,
all you have to do is to attend the monthly meetings. The
cost to you is your time and a nominal (subsidized) cost for your
meal. The rewards are immeasurable. We hope to see
you at meetings.
