SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships Available for SNA Members and Their Children
For more than 20 years, the Child Nutrition Foundation has been raising funds to provide School Nutrition Association (formerly ASFSA) members with the opportunity to explore higher education options with the help of financial assistance. Increasing education costs, coupled with the growing demand for school foodservice personnel, remain the driving force behind the Foundation’s commitment to helping members and their dependents realize their academic dreams.
GED Jump Start Scholarship
The GED Jump Start Scholarship provides eligible individuals with funds to pay for GED classes, GED study materials, and the GED test fee. To qualify for the scholarship the applicant must be a School Nutrition Association member, not currently have a high school diploma or a GED diploma, and plan on earning a GED within one year of receiving the scholarship.

New Application Process
This year the School Nutrition Foundation has moved to single application for the following scholarships:
- Nancy Curry Scholarship
- Schwan's Food Service Scholarship
- SNF Professional Growth Scholarship
Rather than sending in 3 separate applications for 3 different scholarships, we have combined the applications into one. Candidates may apply for one, two or all three scholarships. In combining the applications, not only will this save time, but it will also become more cost efficient for students. In using one application candidates are only required to provide one original copy of a university or college transcript. If you have any questions regarding the application process, please feel free to contact the Foundation Coordinator at (800) 877-8822 ext 104.
