US Foods Scholars Program
Awards
US Foods, Inc. has established a scholarship program to assist students pursuing a degree in the Culinary Arts, Hospitality, or related disciplines.
Awards are one-time only and not renewable, however; recipients may opt to receive their award in two annual installments of $10,000, provided they maintain full-time enrollment in an eligible major.
Awards are for undergraduate study only.
Awards can be used for any education-related expenses.
Recipients may receive professional development and mentorship opportunities from US Foods. The expectation is that recipients participate in at least one professional development opportunity.
Notification
All applicants will be notified in June.
Notifications are sent via email. When setting up your account, avoid using a school or work email. Instead, use an active, personal email address that you will continue to have access to.
