WAEF Executive Director, Jennifer Witherbee says this is a great time of year …
WITHERBEE … “Every year we get so excited about the number of students and the dollars that are being awarded. But then we get to meet the real students, and they are just each so deserving and students the industry can take such pride in.”
So, where do all those scholarship dollars come from? …
WITHERBEE … “That’s one of those amazing things; it is all voluntary funding. So, our funding comes from the growers, packers and shippers. It comes from the suppliers and the service providers. It comes from community members.”
The application process, Witherbee says will take some time …
WITHERBEE … “We have a scholarship committee that reviews those applications. It’s a pretty aggressive review process, and it’s a pretty intensive scholarship application. The students that do make it all the way through are those that are truly committed.”
So, Witherbee says for next year’s applicants …
WITHERBEE … “Well, we want to make sure students have plenty of time to complete that scholarship application. So, it opens on October 15th and it’s housed on our website, which is www.waef.org.
Witherbee says you have until March 2nd of next year to get your application in, but urges applicants to not wait that long.
