Supporting its commitment to education, Seaboard Foods awarded in total $55,000 in scholarships to 55 graduating high school seniors — 15 to children of employees — pursuing certificates and degrees from technical schools, colleges and universities this fall.
“Young adults are leaders in our communities, and we are committed to supporting their educational pursuits through scholarships,” says Kay Stinson, vice president of human resources and animal care. “We recognize their goals and ambition as they take control of their future and become all they can.”
Forty scholarships were awarded to graduating seniors living in the communities where Seaboard Foods operates and 15 scholarships were given to children of their employees. Each student was awarded a $1,000 scholarship based on their achievements in academics, extracurricular activities, work experience and community involvement.
Seaboard Foods’ scholarship program is part of a corporate commitment to fuel education at every level, especially for students in Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado and Iowa where the company operates. Seaboard Foods has funded $399,000 in scholarships to 399 high school seniors since 2003.
