IFMA Education Foundation

 


 
At IFMA, we champion industry excellence by investing in the future of foodservice. Today more than ever, our world requires the very best and brightest young minds.

That’s why we serve as a hub for providing industry education, opportunities within the industry, scholarship distribution and internship placement between our manufacturer companies and budding foodservice talent.

Through member contributions, we award $5,000 scholarships to students from schools and programs that emphasize culinary, marketing, sales, supply chain, and food science.



 

The Education Foundation is a donation you can feel good about, with 100% of the funding going directly to scholarship awards.

Whether you are looking to empower tomorrow’s foodservice pioneers through an internship, or through financial giving, we encourage you to get involved and make a difference in the careers of today’s deserving students.
