Scholarship Recipient Testimonials
"It’s very important to get a lot of internship experience, whether it’s research-based or in the industry. It gives you a broader perspective of working in the lab or on the floor of a product plant, and you can apply what you learned in the classroom. Life experience is one of the best ways to learn."

“To be able to attend Purdue for food science, I needed the help from scholarships because I’m paying for my own education. This scholarship means I can continue exploring my interest in food science and continue learning and doing what I actually want to do.”

“The scholarship helped me a great deal because as an international student, I have to pay full tuition. This scholarship from Feeding Tomorrow helped me have peace of mind, while I did my internship.”
