New York School Nutrition Association Memorial Trust Fund Scholarship award s are made available each year to applicants who are active members of the NYSNA. The purpose of this scholarship is to help defray the cost of improving the recipient's present job performance or career status in school food service. Whether in the early years of a promising career or a more tenured position, ongoing professional development is necessary to hone skills and maintain cutting edge creativity. Everyone benefits from advanced training and development opportunities. Yet, not everyone works for a district that can afford to fund certification opportunities for their employees. The scholarship award may be used for graduate or undergraduate courses. The recipient need not be working toward a degree. The award may be used for local non-credit secondary or adult education courses. The Awards and Scholarship Committee may also approve the use of the awards to attend training workshops and/or courses designed to enhance the recipient's current job knowledge or facilitate their advancement in School Food Service. The scholarship may also be granted for professional accreditation within NYSNA member industries, such as but not limited to, the School Nutrition Specialist (SNS). The number of scholarships awarded will be dependent on the scholarship fund balance and number of applicants each year. Applicants for awards will be judged based on time in the industry, association involvement, and financial need. A point system will be in place to judge the application’s awarding. To ensure maximum membership participation in the program, each NYSNA member will be eligible to receive up to $2500 in scholarship awards throughout the lifetime of the program. Awards are determined by the end of May and acknowledged at the Annual Conference of the Association. Forms and all necessary paperwork required for receipt of the scholarship monies must be completed and received by Headquarters by October 1st of that year in order for the transfer of money to be completed within the current Association fiscal year which ends October 31. The award may be used for registration fees, course materials, transportation and personal expenses incurred in connection with the program. Checks will be drawn to the individual or the institution. Recipients will be asked to complete a voucher and submit receipts.
