2010 Directors' Scholarship Awards

May 17, 2010

Gay Lea Foods is looking for applicants for its annual Directors' Scholarship Awards. Each year six students receive a $500 scholarship.

All dependent children of Gay Lea members are eligible to apply. Members must be in good standing at the time the scholarships are awarded in August 2010. Eligible applicants must be in their final year of high school and be accepted for admission to an accredited college or university beginning in the Fall of 2010 or Spring of 2011.

If any successful scholarship recipient does not attend in the Fall or Spring for any reason, he/she will forfeit the scholarship to allow another student to take advantage of the program.

Note: Children of Gay Lea Foods employees can apply to HR to a separate scholarship fund.

First priority is given considering the following:

1. Students entering agriculture-related fields of study.

2. Demonstrated past and current involvement and leadership in the agricultural community.

3. Demonstrated past and current community and co-operative involvement.
