IAFP Student Travel Scholarship Program
The International Association for Food Protection recognizes that students from around the world are the future leaders in the field of food safety. Since 2004, the IAFP Foundation has been dedicated to enhancing the career potential of exceptional students through the annual IAFP Student Travel Scholarship Program, which provides full funding for attendance at the Association’s renowned Annual Meeting.
For the 2010 program year, it is our pleasure to support the travel of a minimum of six qualified students to attend IAFP 2010, to be held August 1–4 in Anaheim, California. Through generous contributions to the IAFP Foundation, scholarships will be awarded to one student from a developing country, three students from outside North America, and two students from North America.
Applications will be accepted through February 16, 2010, from IAFP Student Members who are enrolled full-time in a graduate or undergraduate program related to food safety. Past scholarship recipients are not eligible to apply. The application and criteria are available below. Applicants are advised to read the form and criteria carefully to ensure that required documents from outside sources are received at the IAFP office no later than the February 16 deadline. Notification of the selection committee’s decision will be communicated to all applicants by March 29, and scholarship recipients will be formally recognized at the Opening Session of IAFP 2010 on August 1.
Dedicated students are encouraged to apply for this unique opportunity. Please send inquiries about the program to scholarship@foodprotection.org, or contact Executive Director David Tharp at +1 515.276.3344 or +1 800.369.6337.
