The FMI Foundation Supports a New Tier of Scholars Studying Food Safety
Food safety auditing, an integral piece of food safety system, is in need of well-trained food auditors entering the workforce. By supporting students in the field through a scholarship program, the FMI Foundation is helping to raise the bar for the future food safety auditors of North America and, in turn, supporting the health and well-being of consumers.
With our application numbers growing from 78 applications in 2023 to 152 in 2024, we at the FMI Foundation have recognized a need for another set of outstanding scholars we can support to reach their academic goals. The FMI Foundation has decided to expand its scholarship offerings to include another tier of applicants, Tier 2. Tier 2 scholarship winners will receive $1,000 to be used towards educational expenses and a complimentary course provided by SQFI, the hosting organization for SQF Unites.
