Taylor Farms awards more than $650K in scholarships through 2025 program – The King City Rustler

SALINAS VALLEY — Taylor Farms has awarded more than $650,000 in scholarships through its enhanced annual scholarship program this year.
Students are awarded in three distinct categories: the Extraordinary Scholarship, the Innovative Scholarship and the Employee Scholarship. A total of 38 new scholarships have been awarded for 2025:
Since launching the program in 2008, Taylor Farms has awarded $4.7 million in scholarships to 319 students, all children of full-time Taylor Farms employees. The company, North America’s premier provider of ready-to-enjoy salads and healthy fresh foods, remains deeply committed to education and believes in empowering its community through opportunity and learning. 
“We are honored to continue to support our team members and their families in their educational journeys,” said Bruce Taylor, chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms. “By investing in education and the academic aspirations of our communities, we are building the foundation for continuous opportunity. Congratulations to this year’s winners.” 
Taylor Farms partners with the Community Foundation for Monterey County to administer the application and award process. Scholarship recipients receive an upfront financial award and are eligible for annual renewals for the duration of their undergraduate or graduate studies. In addition to the 2025 new recipients, 81 renewal scholarships were granted to students who originally received their awards between 2022 and 2024.
“Every year we have an incredible group of applicants, and this year was no exception with close to 100 submissions received,” said Charis Neves, Retail Scholarship Committee chair. “The dedication and pursuit of higher education is apparent in the essays and personal statements we reviewed. Our committee spent hours combing through every application and feel that this year’s recipients are incredibly exceptional with bright futures ahead of them. We are honored to share in this academic milestone and look forward to hearing their stories in the future.”
