CLFP recently awarded $27,000 in scholarship funds for the 2017-2018 year to students and through donations to universities and community colleges.

CLFP received a total of 93 applications for the individual scholarship program. This included 90 submissions from CLFP food processor member companies representing 22 different CLFP members. There were three submissions from Supplier Host Council (SHC) member companies, representing three different CLFP members.

CLFP’s SHC is instrumental in raising funds for the scholarship program through two annual events – the SHC Golf Tournament held each October and the SHC Silent Auction and Reception held at the Food Processing Expo in February.
