Goya Offers Culinary Arts, Food Science Scholarships

Goya Foods, America’s largest Hispanic-owned food company, will offer four $20,000 Culinary Arts and Food Science Scholarships, granted annually, to four students nationwide entering their freshman year of college with an undergraduate degree in culinary arts and/or a food science. Goya’s Culinary Arts Scholarship is available on a competitive basis to students entering an accredited two-year or four-year institution. Scholarships are in the amount of $5,000 awarded per academic year starting in fall 2019 and are renewable for up to three additional years provided the student remains eligible to receive funding, totaling $20,000.

“Each year, through our Goya Scholarship Fund we provide students from around the country with an annual scholarship of $5,000 in addition to scholarships we offer to the sons and daughters of our employees,” says Peter Unanue, executive vice president of Goya Foods.

Applicants will be selected based on the standard requirements established by Goya and administered by Scholarship America, including academic achievement, leadership and financial need, as well as an evaluation of an essay explaining how Goya has enriched their family traditions.
